CigarSeeker Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm looking to add two boxes from the following three to my humidor.. I'm getting 10 count boxes to try them 1st and because I'm seriously running out of room.. ?? Out of the following three, which two would you pick or recommend for me to try? Thank you. 1-RyJ Short Churchill 2-Partagas D4 3-HDM Ep2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 While I have never smoked a Short Churchill, you can't go wrong with the other two. Although very different, they are both fantastic in their own way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshtupps Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Ah this is a dilemma, the only solution is to just buy all three. You're welcome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Epi 2's are on my to buy list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HavanaSunday Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just my 2 cents.... out of the three I would lean Epi2 or PSD4. Not that I don't like the RyJ... but comparing them directly I would rule one out. Then get both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcease022 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 PD4 definitely then Epi2 would be next for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjimj Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I think el prez said he was disappointed with the short Churchill lately from a recent post if I recall. I usually take his advice for what to stay away from as he sees tons of boxes every month. I would email him to verify that this is true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDisco Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Definitely the PSD4 or Epi2. These are mainstay robustos in almost any humidor and you should see if you like them in your rotation. Also great sticks for friends and occasional cigar smokers who visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarSeeker Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 I went ahead with the PSD4 and EPi2 ... Those were the original ones I had in my cart but then I saw the RyJ right before I check out.. Really looking forward to trying them out. Thanks everyone.

Yes, he's mentioned this in a few posts, the last time in reply to a query on a 24:24 listing, if I can recall correctly. So, this would mean the Partagas Serie D No.4 and Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 are the robustos to go for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is odd though because if I remember correctly there was a period where everyone was praising those short churchills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverdst Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 PSD4 because it's a classic. Cigars 101. Try others later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SofaKing Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Short churchill, picked by Rob cause when they are "on"...yum. Epi 2 is my second choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalseCast Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hard to go wrong but I'd say PSD4 for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'd pass on the RyJ. Can't understand why they get the Wides right but not the Shorts.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am currently smoking through a box of short churchills and psd 4s from 2010 and while they are both fantastic I give the nod to the shorty's. In reality both the PSd 4s and the shorty's can at times both be underwhelming but at their best they are both exceptional in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePolskiOgorki Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Both the Epi 2s and the D4s are just all around great cigars. They tend to have great wrappers and I haven't really had any major issues construction wise. Can't go wrong. I haven't had a RnJ Short Churchill. I have a 10 count box of wides I am working through and they are not bad but they are not making me desperate for more. I am not a very big fan of the marca. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarSeeker Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Man.. A lot of PSD4 fans here .. No wonder they always sell out regardless of their condition (PSP, HQ, Seconds, etc) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they always sell out regardless of their condition (PSP, HQ, Seconds, etc) lol I have no statistical data to prove it but I think it might be the most popular Cuban robusto available. If not then definitely in the top 3. Not in my top 3 personally, but people love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElReyDel757 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my 1st PSD4 yesterday, but I'm not sold on them yet. I tasted pepper, wood, earth and leather. It was full flavored & full bodied, not too strong, spicey, with a slight palate numbing. Construction, burn & sheen were perfect. I find it ironic that it is known as the quintessential Cuban cigar, as I find it extremely similar to Nicaraguan Padron. In fact, Padron may be slightly better. I will try again.
