Many of you know that I'm a Cammy ho. I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on the match-up between the AF Hemingway and the La Aurora Preferidos Cameroon.

Basically, I love both but have yet to try all the sizes in the two lines (point of fact, I've only smoked the Hem Classic and the LA Pref Robusto). For those who like these, what vitolas do you recommend?

Once I settle on a size, I'll probably try to trade for a box or something, but first things first...research :)

Thanks bros!

Now that I think about it, the 'best seller' may prove to be a great one to do the comparison to the Aurora since it's around the same size. As soon as it arrives I'll be sure to do a proper write up. :pimp2:

I have never had the LA Preferidos in any size but they get a lot of praise. I would say get a few sizes in both types then decide on a box. there both good i would imagine so even if one isnt the perfect smoke you still have a good couple smokes. plus a box of the best of the best .02

I'm glad to hear the lanceros are good...I'm a lancero nut anyway (don't always love them...but when I like the blend already, I'll usually love the lancero version...all the yummy wrapper!), so I thought that especially with a Cameroon a lance would be good.

Do you like them better than the rest, or just differently? I saw somewhere that had boxes for less than $300 I think.

yup, that's the bookmark I have :) I'd like to do it at some point probably, but I should wait and actually smoke a couple first, lol. I actually have 1 of them now...maybe I can sneak away to the B&M this weekend and lite her up!
