    OK superfriends. Which, hypothetically speaking, should a guy enjoy as his first haul? The options are: 1. The Partagas SD4 2. The HdM Ep. 2 If you were a ninja, which cliff would you chose do jump off of? EDIT: Misspelled the Partagas in the poll... oops! :oops:

    I had my first Partagas Series D #4 yesterday thanks to Dave (smelvis). Talk about WOW, it had some age to it and now i know what all the hype is about. I nubbed the hell out of it. The only bad part is i'm not patient enough to buy a box and let it sit for 6 years. :boohoo: I will...

    This isn't going to be a detailed review or anything, but wow. These really are that good. Had my first the other day, and I was honestly really surprised. I've had a Party Short and an 8-9-8 before this one, and while both were very good, I wasn't exactly expecting to be blown away. Very...

    I just purchased a box of PSD4 and I noticed that some (2-3) of the wrappers have lighter brown-greenish spots on them. My first thought was mold, but it doesn't appear that is the case. The box code is OPA AGO 09. Are recent PSD4s known for this sort of inconsistency (ie not vendor related)...

    So I bit the bullet. I ordered three boxes to split with other BOTLs. However, seeing as I've only had one PSD4, ordered as a single, and it was terrible, I am wondering how the 08's are smoking? I ordered TEB MAY 08. Box of 10. Thanks!!! Oh, and I also ordered RyJ Short Churchills (25)...

    This is my first attempt at a vertical tasting of any cigar. The idea stems from my other passion…wine. Often oenophiles will taste a particular wine from many years to follow the development. I was always curious if the same holds true for cigars. This particular vertical consisted of the...

    I'm about ready to place my next order. I'll probably get 4 or 5 boxes since I know these cigars need some age on them. My main experience is with Partagas Serie D No.4 and Montecristo #2. Both great cigars but I give the edge to the Partagas since it's a little more consistent and I...

    ....................... .......................... These cigars have taught me that you can't always judge a cigar by price. I can honestly tell you at this point I enjoyed the PSD4 more, but given time that may change. I can also say the construction of the CoRo was perfect but the PSD4...

    Well with all the vintage cigars and incredibly rare smokes being reviewed these days I fell kinda bad posting a review on the lowly, not so rare PSD4. To me the PSD4 needs no introduction, I see it like a trusty truck, brawny, strong, earned it reputation the hard way. And just like a good...

    While this post contains a review of sort, it is intended to be more than that, so i placed it here in the gerneral Habano lounge. Last summer I spent a month in China, and while in Shanghei, I stopped by an official government tobacco store where my guides assured me all products were legit...

    This is my first review, so forgive me if some of the notes and tastes are way off. I'm reviewing my first PSD4, It was given to me by Par in the NST. He said it had been resting for 2 years I think. I clipped this beautifully wrapped cigar with my Xikar, and took a few puffs before...

    CA rated Boli RC #1 of their top 25 cigars for the year. I know, I know it's CA (Big grain of salt). My question is for recommendations/comments for the Boli RC vs getting the RASS or PSD4. All seem to get great reviews. Happens to be a good price out there on the Boli's. Heading further...

    After reading all the bad reviews of this cigar lately, and everyone saying you have to smoke these young, I fired one up tonight. I have 2 more and will smoke them soon before the sick period, I would never last through that. The first half was non-existant, just blah. I was worried, are...

    got this smoke from Zenistar (WC contest, thanks) Excellent construction, nice wrapper. Lit this one- was an excellent smoke not too sophisticated just lots of tobacco flavour. The first 2/3 were nice the last 1/3 just... Popped. Tasty. I enjoyed this smoke - nubbed it was sorry it was over...

    The other night I smoked my first PSD4. They had been sittin in the humi for a while now buried under my newly acquired smokes. I was digging around and found them and had an idea to spark one (pressured by teezntuz). Anyways I sat outside and struck her up. Wonderful aroma filled the patio...

    I have a box of psd4's I have had for about a year when I got them they were about 8 months old oct 04. Had a very slight ammonia smell so I figured they were in the "sick" period so I closed the box and burried it. How long do they need to age before they are good again? I've had a few young...

    I'm fairly new to Habanos, so I wasn't sure what to expect here. I understand that they're released without aging, so that was taken into consideration as I fired up my first PSD4. The date on this box is Dic 05, and I let them sit for about two weeks in the humi before firing one up. The...

    Then what tobacco would I want to buy to get some full flavored action? I was looking at those Nording Keystones Neuromancer recommended and I need to add something onto the order at pipetobacco.com Those keystones are hard to find.... Anybody else using them?

    I got six of these from my brother for Christmas and decided to finally light one up today. I can't believe I waited so long! It is a BEAUTIFUL day here at the Jersey shore! Almost 70 degrees and sunny and I had the day off of work so I decided this called for a special smoke. I grabbed this...

    Let's say one wanted to put a box away for 2 years, which would you recommend doing if you could only do one, the PSD4 or PSP2? The reason for the question is that it's well known that the PSD4's are very good relatively young, and then go into a sick period which can last, from what I...
