Partagas- Series P #2 vs Series D #4

[pz93c]

Howdy, all.

I have had the Series P's but never the D Series. I did enjoy the Series P... it had a great flavor but is a little long for me.

How do the two compare compare? Are the Series D worth buying?

Thanks,

Brian

I think they smoke just about the same. I can't tell too much of a difference in the tobacco blend, but the pyramid roll on the P seems to give it a little more refinement in the draw IMHO.

Specific to the D4, man that has got to be one of my all time favorites. I know I am not alone on that one. You just can not go wrong with that stick.

Enojy!!

I received a box of the Serie Ps when they were first released, smoked one almost ROTT and immediately ordered another box. I personally love the Ps more than the Ds (although my fear is their popularity will breed an inconsistent product) but you can't go wrong with either.

As much as I love the PSDN4 I gotta agree with Jaime on this one, he gifted me a Serie P from that box and it was just stunning! :cbig:

P's are better IMO...D's take much more time to develop for some reason.

The PSD 4 is one of my top 3 cigars. My aristocrat is never without a box. I smoke them young and enjoy them aged. You really need to get yourself some band judge for yourself. I love em

My cigar tastes are pretty contrary. Don't like either of these!

I'm really not a fan of Partagas either. But if I had to grade them, it would be something like this:
Salamon
Lusi
898
P2
(culebra)
D4
Short

I despise the D4's. I love the P2's though.

 

[gibbleguts]

For some reason I find the P2's seam to be more watered down in flavour the the D4's. Not that they are bad I just always reach for D4 first.

THe D4's fits more of my flavor profile than the D2's. But, you should try both for yourself. What I or others might like, you might not.

For me the winner would be PSD4, I think the PSP2 needs at least 5 years to show what its got, it is amongst the few ccs that is one dimensional the first years.

Based on a very recent experience, I'd say the 2. I smoked a D last week and then to be certain it was not me, smoked another one and then I smoked a P...

I have one D left in the humi and after that, I'll not smoke another even at gun point!

 

[KPP]

Well put me down as a lover of both!

I personally found the PSP2 that I've smoked to have a little more kick to em', and a little fuller-bodied than the PSD4s i've smoked.....but either way, I plan on having both around in my humi for a good long while.

I think the reason for the negative attitude toward the D4 is the fact, when they go sick, they are SICK! They also have a somewhat lengthy sick period. Its intolerable, IMO.

I prefer the D4's to the P2's.

Since the original P2's were released. I haven't been blown away by them. D4's made a nice comeback in late 08. Early 09's didn't impress me all that much. Not sure how the 2010's are smoking?

Wow! I posted a question, went to bed and this thread grew legs!

Thanks for the info, gentlemen.

Would it make a difference if I let them sit a year or two before smoking them?

Without a doubt, yes!

D4 are good the P2 meh.

 

[Ravenwood]

D4s. Now to be fair I buy boxes of the D4s while I've only had the P2s as singles.

The P2 is one dimensional all the way through while the D4 starts off that way but blossoms nicely into a great smoke.
