strayvector Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I just had a PSD4 from FEB05 box and found them very flat. This is the second one from that particular box that has been flat, and I've read that people have had problems with the PSD4s going flat. If others have had this experience, how long does this flat period continue? I've got 4 more sticks from this box and was wondering how long I should let it sit before revisiting them. Until the last 2, the other sticks have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2advnture Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 FEB05 PSD4s won't begin to be smokeable until July 2006 and REALLY won't start to be really good until about 2009, sorry bro - that's the nature of the PSD4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habanohal Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 » Same here. I recently posted on this in the review forum. smoked half the box when I recieved them and that was in April 04. Box code was Feb 04. I couldnt see why they are the #1 robusto to most until lately , know that I have only 7 or so left. They are delisious. Now need to find another box from 04 or earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Looks to be fairly and squarely in the "First six months or 2 years" school of thought. Looks like a text bood example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Last box of these that I bought were some '99's. It has taken this long to have them turn into a good cigar. I can actually say that I am enjoying them now... the ones that i have left! -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 knock them down for a nap........that will do some good...I have some from 02 that are smoking nicely now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yep, just entering the "sick" phase. Didn't smoke 'em quick enough. My AUG04 box will sleep for at least another year, then I'll try 'em. Does anyone know why the PSD4 does this? Must be the blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I was afraid of that. I have a box from 04 that is napping, but usually my boxes of PSD4 does not last long enough to get to the sick period. Recently though, I've been traveling quite a bit and been trying other sticks. I guess my unopened box from April05 will be napping too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'm with you GoatLocker. I hate this multiyear waiting game. My PSD4 are of the same stock as discussed and I've wasted half a box hoping that the next one would turn the corner. Give me some green RASS andlets get to smokin!;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab55 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 My 98 SD4's are smoking really nice right now, but unfortunately only have about a dozen left, then I'll have to wait for the 03's to sit a while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatLocker Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 It's tough not to try one, just to check on them to see if they are coming around. I've smoked 1 out of a box from Nov 04 and about 1/2 a box of May 04 prior to going flat/sick. Hope I can keep out of them until 07. I guess I better start buying a couple boxes every year, so I don't have to wait again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thschrminm Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 This is probably one of the better fresh smoking vitolas that are coming out of Cuba today IMHO... They are rich and strong with 3-4 months on them and can get sick from 8 months to 1 1/2 later.... After 2 years, I too have never smoked one that was sick...

Arkay Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I bought a box of these in '97 when no other robustos could be found. Thought they were ok--smoked one yesterday from that box and OH MY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
