Birthday smoke recommendations

[smbauerllc]

So, i was gifted the below very nice, aged smokes by a very generous person who wishes to remain anonymous, and I have only ever had the monte #4, Picadores and PSD4, the rest are new to me.

Looking for some opinions on the best one to smoke on my birthday Friday, as I don't know anything about the ones I haven't tried, and have no idea which one may age the best.

Any info/opinions would be great.

 

Diplomaticos No.4 2007

Montecristo No.4 2014

HDM LCDH Elegantes 2017

Partagas Presidentes 2016

PSD4 2014

Por Larranaga Picadores 2015

Quai D'Orsay Imperiales 2014

One cigar on your birthday?   I’d go with the Party Pres for a bolder after dinner smoke, but I’d also be curious about the Diplo4.

I will be smoking the aged one at 11am and a Cohiba Robusto at 4pm

Dip 4

I’m a guy who prefers milder in the morning, bolder in the evening.  So in your case the Diplo4, which I would expect to be mild-medium, seems like a fit.   Since it’s a special cigar I would only do it if I could focus on it.   If your playing golf or something, maybe the Monte4.  Easy to replace.

The Party Pres is a nice one for on deck after the CoRo if need be.  😉

Nice lineup!  Should be a great day.

I have no preference on how strong my 11am Cigar is so that isn't an issue
Also I won't be doing anything but focusing on the Cigar as I have never had one with anywhere near as much age as these

Imperials would be my choice for that time of the day

Are they on the milder side?
I don't mind a strong Cigar at my 11am smoke time, as I have been awake since 5:30am.
In general I prefer something in the medium range, but certainly don't mind mild or full

So, across the several forums I posted this on, the Diplomaticos got the most votes by far, so that is what I'm going with.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone

I would go for the Partagas Presidentes and a big strong coffee, Arabica/Robusto blend. 

I had one the other week and it was a joy from the beginning to the end!

That was actually the one I was planning on originally but decided to get opinions since I have never had cigars with so much age, and most of them I have never even tried fresh, so I was out of my league and also had solid justifications for all of them, so just couldn't decide.

Wanted to go with what the most people suggested in the hopes it would be a very good one.

The Diplomaticos got over twice the votes of any of the others.
