PSD4 ? Is there a sticky or something to help the unknowing? I can usually go to a cigar site and figure out the new language I.E. SLR but this one excapes me.

Partagas Serie D #4.......yummy when fresh or after a a couple years.

 

[The Searcher]

WOW that was quick I'll make a note of that I see it used quite often it must be a good one.

 

[smokem94]

In my opinion, it is one of the best robustos there is. Very well known for being wonderful fresh, but has a tendency to go into a sick period for which a lot of rest is needed to bring them around again. I have a box aging which I will not touch for about another year yet or else I would send you one to break your cherry!

 

[The Searcher]

OOOh when you speak of romance. My cherry will be broken (I had a Cuban Cohiba when in Mexico I beleve it was real because it cost real $$ and tasted real so I quess it was real). I will be in the market for some real cigars soon and then I'll worry about the one to but but will mark this one down as a possible first box purchase. Thanks for the kind reply. Jerry

(I had a Cuban Cohiba when in Mexico I beleve it was real because it cost real $$ and tasted real so I quess it was real).

It MIGHT have been real ... unless you purchased from Juan's Souvenir and Cigar shop ... or picked out of a box with a glass top. But chances are very high that most habanos (expecially Cohibas) found in Mexico are fake.

The price paid is not a good indicator of authenticity ... and if this was your first one, you have no real basis for validating taste. Best to buy from reliable vendors or from people who you trust that have been buying cuban cigars for awhile from reliable vendors.

I did a lot of research before going Yes there are a lot of phohibas this cigar was No glass,no celophane, I ask a high end jewler and he sent me to "the only place with real cuban cigars". J&J humidors Cabo San Lucas he showed the tax stamp with a black light and was a offical habonas dealer or something like that. It was a least the best chance to smoke a cuban that I found on a 7 day cruise. Nothing in the other two ports except for one that another cigar smoker gave me from Mazatlan a real "Phohiba".
