A very kind gift from Sean in the pass the cigar game. Bless him he was worried the cap had split but as photos 2 and 3 show there was a tiny patch of wrapper that had lifted a little in transit but the cap was pristine and punched effortlessly.
Length 4.9"
Gauge 50
Build Well wrapped with veins so fine they are almost invisible. Firm and very well packed. Punched with my 8mm punch and the draw was effortless. Clearly a premium product and frankly the build is impeccable.
Taste Pre-draw was very very light, perhaps just a hint of clean earth. The first few draws after lighting were difficult to describe, really just a good clean tobacco taste. Leather came in quickly and built over the first third. Second third the leather mellowed and that clean earthiness came back. Last third a very subtle spice came in at the end but was never a prominent flavour. This was a beautiful medium to light smoke to my taste.
Conclusions I've heard a lot of good word on the PSD4 and had it on my 'bucket list' of Cubans to try. It has not disappointed. This was an excellent cigar throughout. There isn't a huge hit of nicotine though for full disclosure I had to leave this at the last inch (I'd usually smoke own to about a half inch) because the heavens started opening. Could quite happily smoke another one of these this evening which is probably the highest praise I could give. It also lit incredibly easily and although the burn was a little uneven it consistently self corrected and never needed a touch up or relight.
Truly this is a first class cigar and many thanks to Sean for introducing me to this little gem!
