Poor Sir Winnie… Always the Bridesmaid & never the Bride Great read & beyond impressive record keeping. Bravo

From a fellow Upmann and lawn/grass enthusiast…great review and great looking yard!

Tip o’the cap to the PSD4. A well deserved nod. Twas always a bridesmaid, but never the Bride….until now.

1. Cohiba 2. Sir Winston - the only cigar that has yet to let me down (knock on wood)

I think we were all hoping you both hated this one 🤣. Certainly not the case it appears. We’re another Trinidad to go the way of the Robusto T, I have to wonder which size it would be given the current ‘environment’, or if Habanos is simply in an “all-in” type situation with the entire brand. In any event, great review! 👍

What poll are we talking about here? As evident from the Deep Dive rankings, SW is ahead of the Lusi by less than 1% (95.3 vs 94.4 approx) of those who enjoy em’ (“get it”)…so not sure you’ll find any glaring opinions that SW is leaps and bounds better than Lusi, at least not here. I enjoy both, but my preference also lies with the SW. As islandboy stated above, it wins almost on elegance alone. Perhaps also semi-sentimental as Upmann was the first marca that just suited my palate across multiple cigars in the marca. I love the creamy hazelnut aspect of Upmann, which is amplified for me, particularly in aged SW.

Sometimes you just remember a boxcode without the actual box. Last one. PRA DIC 2010. #CoupDeGrace

Most flavorful…I.e. crosses the biggest spectrum of flavors for my palate? Upmann Sir Winston . Bang for my buck - and basing this off one I will continue to buy in the current market that I see worthy of keeping on hand even considering price hikes - PSD4.

Feel ya sir. Housing prices need to drop significantly for anyone to be able to afford these Uber-inflated housing prices, especially with what the interest rate bumps are gonna do to mortgage payments on new purchases. Refis will be non-existent too I’m sure. Everyone who had any sense did that long ago. That Refinance wave had to be a helluva ride though?! Wish ya all the best for sure! Cuban cigars will be here certainly for ya, for whenever the next boom comes.

That’s pretty much the going rate for PSD4s. If Cuba is going up too, that price equates to market. Granted, you’d think the ‘source’ would be at least a little less.

Have an HQ box with this same code. And still smoking from an 09 and 10 box. Some age on these bad boys, and they can just be flat out superb. Like smoking a hazelnut latte. But not made with that shitty Starbucks coffee 😝.

You hit the crux of the issue for me & the point of my post. Someone free & willfully bid on these cigars. Of their own volition. To have someone, seemingly condescendingly so, post that the number of cigars is not to theIr perceived value of the dollars spent, strikes a nerve with me. Somethings are just better left unposted. Especially in the current climate. Just shake your head and move on. Easier said than done for some. Congrats to the winner of a damn fine box of cigars.

Sigh. Why ask this? My wife does this & it drives me bonkers - asks questions she already clearly knows the answer to as a point of emphasis somehow. Literally the ONLY reason I’m calling you out on it. Learn to whine better. It’s the world in which we currently reside.
