haven't had a D4 for a few weeks and dug (digged?) one out of the humidor this evening (towards the end of a box thats been in there about 12 months)....
This is the Cigar I have always got in my Humi
Over the years I've been smoking them, quite a few, there have been many changes in the flavours Earthy, Spicey, sometimes smooth and leathery mushroomy . I Luv Em
But unfortunately sometimes they have been Crap too
I have a few bottom layers from 04, and 05 that are stored away for a rainy day
Touch wood the 07's and 08's have a lot of promise too

Whisky has written that he reckons D4s are not as well constructed as in the past, SSteve, in another post.
Do you mean construction, or something else?
See... To me a Juan Lopez No2 smoked without a good resting period is pretty dull sometimes. It can be a wasted, pale grey smoke.
But I acknowledge any cigar smoked too early can present like that.
How much more sex they accrue by just sleeping away for a while...

I've had issues with the construction over the years, too tight, plugged, wrappers, but mostly with the flavour profile, occasionally I've had boxes where the Cigars just had nothing at all no flavour.
I'm talking 1999 to maybe 2002/3 ( not ever box I bought)
It got to the stage where I nearly gave up on them, and then I got a few boxes when on holiday abroad that restored my faith
The 08's are very nice for a young Cigar IMO , it seems different smokers have different preferences with them, some like them Spicy some like them Smooth and Earthy
I like them both ways so long as they are flavoursome
I also have a funny story about buying a Party SD No4 I bought whilst visiting the Partagas Factory In Havana ... The Short of it is .. That it was Plugged with cardboard
I'll have my special goggles on when I go there in the Autumn!
Have to say that my Mates were perfect, just typical me to get that one.
BTW we stayed at the "Conde de Villanueva" a great Casa there Mmmm nice Herfing place Great Prices too
