  1. The Diplomaticos No.4 was a Marevas cigar identical in specification to the Montecristo No.4, at 42 ring gauge by 129mm. I say "was" because, like all great offerings from Habanos S.A. that don't sell in great quantities, this was discontinued in 2010. (Unlike its bigger and older cousin, the well-known Montecristo No.4.) It's a great shame really, as this cigar, if it was around deserves to be in your rotation, at least as a 'change-of-pace'. I was fortunate enough to receive this from a much admired and fellow Sydney FoH member, Kam a few months ago (thank you so much), and I was able to smoke this a little after the New Year. When I did so, I marvelled at how multi-flavoured this was after 7 years of age. I guess I was taken aback by smoking so many Montecristo No.4's in comparison, which when they are good, are very, very satisfying but I've never had a Marevas cigar this complex through the thirds. The cold draw was a little tight, and when I lit up I had to work a bit to draw the amount of smoke I wanted. However, the first third was full of cinnamon and nutmeg goodness. As the cigar evolved, the roasted nuttiness took over and the cinnamon spice took a back seat, with the cigar changing from mild to mild-medium in strength. The final third saw some of that cinnamon/nutmeg spice return and the strength and intensity of the nuttiness eased off a little. My initial thoughts upon smoking this was that if it were around I would definitely have it in my humidor to enjoy on occasion. When I next saw him, I reassured Kam to savour what he has left from his box. Alas folks, the No.4 is gone, but at least we have the No.2, for now.
