Erm310mce Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Greetings, I'm going to take a stab at my first review.... I received this 10 count from Czar in late December. The Serie D#4 has always been a favorite robusto of mine. This box doesn't disappoint. Great construction, the wrapper is very smooth with nice oils. The aroma at cold is very fragrant with sweet tobacco and a slight woody smell. I clipped the cap and the draw is a little open for me, would like a little more resistance but still not bad. First light brings some nice pepper and a strong wood taste. The opening for me was just under medium in intensity. As I got into the 1st 3rd the strenght has picked up to medium and the flavors are really starting to come out. Typical partagas flavors with a little bit of white pepper. As I entered the 2nd 3rd I am starting to pick up some cinnamon and maybe a hint of clove, very pleasant flavors with the woody profile. I am really enjoying this robusto. As I entered the final 3rd I was wishing there was more. The flavors and strength have picked up a little to just over medium. I think this is where this cigar really shines. More tobacco flavor and very pleasant spice. I finished with a little burn on the fingers and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe the tough day at work made me appreciate my time with this robusto a little more. It totally relaxed me. I'd rate it a solid 89 with hopes that the box will continue to improve. Every time I finish a SD#4 I always think they are a great value, always solid and very enjoyable. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buch0 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Cheers for the review, they are definitely one of the great cigars out there. A staple in most people humidors and one that rarely lets you down. If you are lucky, with a bit more age you will start seeing some dried fruits (dates, raisins, apricot) come through aswell. Hope that mountain range of a burn didn't hinder anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellery Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Great review, nice pics. Unfortunately, I never really "got" this cigar. Smoked around 5 or so and just never came around. Maybe I'll pick up some singles and give it another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
