Partagás Serie D No.4 ROP Feb 2020

This is the second Partagas Serie D No.4 from a 10-count box I acquired four months ago. The Partagas Serie D No.4 is considered the number one selling Habanos cigar in the world today, overtaking the Montecristo No.4. It's certainly come a long way since, because of its size (50 ring gauge x 124 mm or 4.9 inches), it sold only 5000 boxes annually as recently as the mid-1980s.

In general, I prefer Partagas on the mild side and well-rested, unless it's a Lusitanias because these Double Coronas are usually big on sourdough, light on spice or pepper and medium-mild or less in strength, even when young.Therefore, I haven't had many Partagas Serie D No.4s in the last few years. However, this is my second Party D4 in just over a month from this box, and at just over two years of age, this was again obviously outstanding and similar to a young Lusitanias; this was big on sourdough, coffee and leather flavours, had no spice or pepper whatsoever and was medium in strength.

I wrote in my last review that the first cigar from this box was probably one of the best Partagas Serie D No.4 I've ever had and I could easily smoke them more regularly when they are like this. I'd add even further that this second one confirms that this cigar is currently one of the best or 'hottest' cigars in my humidor right now. I don't think it should surprise you if I reach for a third one soon!

I feel glad that these recent D4 keep delivering Partagas flavour bomb. Although my Clearance D4 box's wrapper shade is lighter, I'm sure they'll be tasty as your 10ct D4s 😃😄

Strange isn't it.  If someone asked me "is the Monte 2 the best cigar in the world?"  I would scoff and say......."Weeeeelll thats a difficult one, not in my book". however they are a strange, strange beast.  In my mental black book of cigar memories, I would have to say the Monty 2 was responsible for a handful of jaw droppingly excellent cigars.   I don't necessarily even like the vitola either, but the sheer weight of body, and class elevates them. 

It's a strange calculation to make but I would average you'd probably have to smoke 3 boxes of 25 to experience one of those 100 pointers, Thats not to say the rest of the cigars are not good, but I can't think of any other cigar that when you have a truly excellent one,  it sort of discombobulates your brain......you think. "can I really afford the large ratio of misses to hits...........yes.....yes I believe I can!"

A true enigma

Well said! 👍
