PSD4 unknown year and box (PTGSRW)

[dominattorney]

Had this guy and some friends I'd his rattling around the singles drawer. I always have at least 3 boxes of sd4 in rotation, but I never really put too much stock in keeping track of the codes. To me this is the most identifiable cigar, and one that is really reliable provided ypu buy good boxes. I always get this cigar and monte 2 from our host. Too much can go wrong otherwise. 

Needed a companion while I knock out some last minute review of some files. I'll be prepping a deposition for Monday later and needed to get everything for my other cases squared away first. This cigar starts off with a light spice of mild paprika with a spine of Forrest floor and or sourdough. I struggle to appropriately describe the typical partagas sd4 flavor but its somewhere in there for me. 

Down in the second third and we are getting a bit of light shortbread and cream on top of thr partagas funk and spice. Very pleasant and perfect burn and construction. 

Final third goes back to the beginning with light apice and partagas funk. Though I usually nub these, this one for some reason inexplicably went out a bit after I took this picture. I didn't bother to relight it, as my wife was futzing with the sous vide machine upstairs and I didn't want her to ruin my steak. 

i hate to admit it. I didn't want to like the sous vide life. I got one of these contraptions for Christmas and the gifted kept asking how I liked it so we had to bust it out. Not sure anything could ever replace my love of the charcoal grill as a steak cooking method but this worked in a pinch on a cold night. 

Oh. And the cigar was easily an 8 or 9 of 10
