From the AF line, all that I can recall trying was:

Chateau
Hemingway
Work of Art (not sure if it's Hemingway)
Opus X (Lost Cities I believe from late 2019 or early 2020 probably)

The Opus X, in my opinion, wasn't worth the money. It was hyped and recommended to me by a friend. However, I do have mixed feelings about the Opus X. It was unique, I guess; believe I may have been expecting more; and it was very refined; and maybe something I'm not at the correct level of appreciation for it.

I have a Between The Lines I got from an Xmas School Dads exchange I hosted last year, but it seems they're rare, and my humidor is in question; so I'm holding on to it.

Also have another Chateau I'm taking camping. I remember loving it, and it being super chocolatey.

Everything else by AF has been unique, kinda refined, maybe simple...but not in a bad way - just that the basics are mastered; inexpensive, and pretty damn good and tasty.

Padron is my "bar" and one of my personal internal references to the combo of pricepoint, expectation, and quality. The 2000 (Londres, I believe) is $5-6, and everything I smoke at that pricepoint is judged off the 2000. The 64 Maduro (Principe) is my $10-11 reference. I've had a 1926 and can't remember how it compared to the 64 and 2000 series.
