I once bought a box of these. At the time, I couldn't believe I was spending $1200 on a box of 10 cigars.

Now you can't even get 2 boxes of PSD4s for that.  😂

[Nevrknow]

Cohiba is my thing. Behike. Just can't at these new prices.

Amazing.

Cabinettas were my favorite Dunhills. Probably more like my favorite production cigar in general.  But the Estupendos weren't too far behind.

Got hold of one as part of a vintage lot a year or so ago, and was sorely tempted, absolutely beautiful appearance and aroma, but couldn't bring myself to do it. Went for about £1.6k in the end. I will never smoke a £1.6k cigar...some part of me knows that innately. I think if a lit a cigar that valuable, I would also spontaneously combust.

Any Cuban Davidoff that's not past it's "prime". Likely a unicorn these days.

Cohiba Behike 40th anniversary 

Bolivar Espiciales (lanceros)

Dunhill Estupendos 

If I can time travel, I will grab a large perfecto shaped cigar from the early 1900s. Not interested in how it will taste today.

For 1.6k, I would probably sell it too. Especially this late in the game. The odds of it being past it's prime are pretty high.

For what it's worth Elliot, I think you've still got a lot life left in the tank...lol...at least 1000 cabs of Sig VI.

I see that the Estupendos were all packaged in tubes. I always wondered if that has anything to do with the legendary status of the cigar. Were yours in tubes? If so, any comments about the log term benefit of keeping cigars in tubes?

You should be able to get the PSD4s for just under $1200, but just barely. Not that I would know for sure.

For the Estupendo talk…

Oh man, Cohiba Double Coronas. 

[RDB]

Dunhill Cabinetta…

A Behike would be a great, To have another cigar with my Father… Priceless

Yes, they were in tubes.  As to the benefits of being in tubes?  The tubes definitely work to physically protect the cigars, and theoretically, the less oxygen that reaches the cigars, the better they will age. But the big word there is "theoretically". People say it, and it seems like it makes sense, but I don't know if there have ever been any studies proving it.

 

 

Oh.  PS.  Let's talk more about those sub $600 PSD4s.  😀

Cuban Davidoff or Cohiba Millennium Jar

Or? 🫤 

[REesq]

Add me to the list of Cuban Davidoffs.

[Lamboinee]

I would love to sample some regular production sticks from older decades to see how they compare with what I've smoked from the 2010-2024 years.

If I had to pick specific individual cigars that I'd like to try:

• A Behike...never had one. I want to see what the hype is about.
• A Partagas 8-9-8.  I love using the 8-9-8 packaging designation as part of the name.
• Any LFG that has a ring gauge of 42-50
• OG davidoff
• MC Edmundo Dantes

oh westie, they were good. i had two boxes. don't have a single smoke left. 

[Perla]

Cuban Davidoff and Cohiba 1966, here I was too shy to buy them. 
 

 

[BG318]

Bolivar Gigantes, Cohiba Lanceros, Monte A, or QD Imperiales. That's my one cigar.

[pohlmad]

Cohiba Behike for me. My curiosity of the medio tiempo would likely push me to pay the price but with so many fakes, I would only purchase from FOH.  Let’s just say I’m not setting world records in my 24:24 speed 🤪

Partagas Serie D4 Reserva.
