melies Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I have an opportunity to get a box of Partagas SD4 reserva from 2005 For a reasonable price (although reservas are always expensive), how are they smoking right now? Are they worth it? They are a dream come true for me, but I wouldn't want to wast money in a cigar just for a collection and never smoke one... Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 That hesitation you feel regarding any large purchase is usually the correct one. EDIT (forgot to include thoughts doh!): A bunch of people like them. Some who love the EL, some who just love cigars in general. I don't think they're worth it. I guess it's cool to have, but I don't buy cigars unless I know for a fact that I will smoke it. So if you always wanted it, want to smoke it, and don't care if it's not as good as to your expectations, then buy it. I usually don't buy things if I have that voice in the back of my head saying, "pass on this." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Never had the pleasure. I did smoke a few Monte 4 Reservas and found them to be better than standard production. The only review I've seen on the PSD4R's was in CA's Connoisseurs Corner, by JS. I think he found them to be tapering off in strength, were smooth and might be on their last legs. You might be able to find the review on their site. And please don't go on what I'm writing here. Hopefully some people who've actually smoked them will chime in. You can always do a box split with friends to lower your investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Are they good cigars? Yes. Are they worth the price? That's up to you to decide.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I really wish I could answer this for you, but I have yet to smoke any reserva cigars. One day I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mash Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nice. Curious to hear your opinion. I agree with the comments re: the Monte 4 Reservas, I think they're way, way better than standard production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 indeed, we did do a review (had i had any idea of what they were worth, no way was i opening them. i will smoke these and i think i still have a full box). we loved them, as you'd see. cost? i got mine on release. but it is all relevant to each individual's situation. i should say that i had another not so long ago and it was crap. completely different cigar. had to re-light it about 20 times. very frustrating all round. i'm also in a box of HQ standard D4's from 08 which have also been spectacular. provided yours are the same as our first experience, you'll love them. if they are like the second one i tried, compost beckons.
