By far. I smoke the OF by the box. They are very similar to the Diesel.
I have a Oscuro Fuerte I'm saving to smoke before the Roger Waters concert 10/15 in Hartford.

I've had the La Herencia Cubana in a torpedo and didn't really care that much for it :dunno:.

I smoked the Oscuro Fuerte on the golf course on Saturday and it was enjoyable. Have yet to try the regular line tho.

I agree that the Oscuro Fuerte is the better smoke. Which isn't to say the regular line is a bad cigar, but the OF is the stronger and more flavorful of the two

Bought a flight sampler a couple years ago and found them boring. OK for walking the dog, but nothing special. Was gifted a churchill last week and smoked it last night while out for a walk. My opinion hasn't changed at all. Burn was outstanding. Draw was good. Taste was not objectionable, but far from remarkable. Found myself wishing it were a corona or robusto. Tossed it shortly after halfway point.
I personally love the La Herencia Cubana, especially the robustos. Great construction. They start off with a strong pepper kick (not quite up to Pepin standards) but then mellow out nicely leaving a rich leathery flavor with underlying spice.
These are made by AJ Fernandez so quality is top notch. I also like the Obsuro Fuertes but I'm not a huge maduro fan. These aren't as spicy as the original and have a more heavy flavor due to the PA broadleaf wrapper.
You can't go wrong with either, but the naturals are a mainstay in my humidor.

I pretty much agree with this. The Oscuro seemed flat to me but I tried them right after they were released so they maybe they have opened up since then.
I have gone through several of the original in the Lonsdale vitola and each one of them has had a hint of green melon flavor. Never experienced this in any other cigar but it is good and they burn perfectly. Great value cigar in my opinion.
