^ agree w/ Dave, the Upmann 2 would be my favorite of those 3 as well. I'd place the Monte above the VR though, but that's splitting hairs really. All great smokes.

I'll put another vote in for the Upmann #2. Possibility my absolute favorite from the island.

I didn't say "completely" different than the 4, but yes, definitely different.......but not nearly as different as the #2.
And yes, to make more money....but that's really the only reason the roll them in the first place. As with any commodity, the decision to buy is up to the consumer.

So the PSD 4 and 5 are different sizes AND different blends. I did not know that.

What's the difference in flavor or strength?

Buckwheat wrote:

The #5 is not really a re-release. Historically there were 16 different vitolas of the #4 type blend. They were called A B C or D which referred to the ring gauge and each had a different length designated as 1 2 3 or 4. Any D was 50 ring gauge, any 4 was 4 7/8 length, etc. All 16 were discontinued in the 1960's and the PSD#4 was reintroduced about 1975.

bringing this to the top because I finally tried PSD5's, and they are decent, but wondering if i should get psd4's, which I like, so updated thoughts on both these cigars, which you might like better? there is a good deal on PSD5's out there, but wondering if i should get PSD4's

wow, this is an old thread.

I've moved away from the partagas marca from 2+ years ago because they seem to need more aging to reach optimal smokabilty (if that makes sense). They seem to need at least 2-3 yrs.

I have a box, each, of the 4s and 5s with about 2+ yrs each. At this point, if I had to choose, I would go with the 4s. But i wouldnt rebuy either.

Me likely psd4 and psp2. (Thanks Julian and Ryan!!). I'd buy a box of each if I could ever resist the urge to piss away my cigar and whiskey budget on Onesie twosie purchases never leaving funds for that Cuban order I'm always thinking about ......
