Welcome to the Stage: The Partagas Series 4 (PSD4)
Prepare for a captivating journey with the Partagas D No. 4, affectionately known as the PSD4. A true pipe dream of a cigar. The PSD4 has long held a cherished place in my heart, and its allure compels me to weave this tale through rich imagery. If you enjoy this style of review, let me know, and I’ll consider taking you on more flavorful adventures. Hope you enjoy...
Imagine a warm summer day... the sun shines bright through the elaborate windows of your favorite resort, warmly touching your skin as you exit the brunch buffet at the Wynn in Las Vegas. A freshly poured Bloody Mary rests in your hand, vibrant and zesty. As you stroll through the elegantly adorned corridor leading to the casino, a familiar aroma wafts through the air, awakening your senses. It’s a decadent blend of rich tobacco, unmistakably inviting, your mind instantly drifts back to the PSD4 - an old favorite.
With a renewed craving for a cigar, Madam Destiny leads you to a Davidoff shop nestled across from the sportsbook. Upon entering, you are immersed in a cool paradise; the air rich with the scent of fine cigars and a perfect 70% humidity - an oasis of tobacco delight. It feels like stepping into a soft, white cloud, where the world outside calmly fades away. Kind of like every time you visit your favorite cigar community (…us).
You head straight for the treasure chest, more commonly known as the secret humidor. As you step off the shops floor and onto the virtual island south of Miami, you can’t help but be immersed in such a sensual experience – a true cigar haven to some. Fingers grazing the smooth wrappers until you grab hold of a PSD4. What better setting to savor this euphoric stick of treasure than amidst the excitement of the sportsbook, sipping your Bloody Mary from a tall hurricane glass thoughtfully garnished with all the fixings.
With a steady hand, you retrieve your CigarPass branded Palio cutter, delicately snipping the head of the cigar. The pre-light aroma is intoxicating - a blend of creamy chocolate and the finest cedar... is this a prelude of what's to come? As you draw gently, the cigar offers the perfect resistance, reminiscent of sipping upon a freshly blended chocolate milkshake - just right.
While lighting the foot, you feel the essential oils of the wrapper gently coat your lips. You find yourself momentarily lost in the experience, the anticipation building as you take your first puffs. The PSD4 is a celebration in every sense, transporting you back to cherished moments of once was. Its opening notes are smooth as silk, revealing layers of flavor that feel almost tangible. Toasty pepper glides over the back of your throat... a gentle tease that sets the stage for a great show to come.
With each puff, new flavors emerge like dancers on a stage. Toasty notes entwined with fresh cedar create a symphony in your mouth, while the smoke billows gracefully, neither overwhelming nor sparce. The flavor dance evolves, introducing hints of sweet cedar and roasted nuts, all harmonizing beautifully thanks to the oily wrapper’s touch.
Time slips away, and before you know it, you’re halfway through this flavor extravaganza. The cigar unveils a silky combination of chocolate and cedar. Although retro hales aren’t a usual preference, this one begs for it - each puff reveals a new layer of delicious harmony. The smoke carries the essence of chocolate mousse, tantalizing your palate with its decadent richness, and subtly begins to open up even further...
As you savor the moment, a gentle pause allows the cigar to rest. When you pick it up again, the foot remains still, yet a few gentle puffs revive it, reigniting a flavorful symphony that dances on your tongue like a perfectly tuned melody.
As the journey nears its climax, a fleeting note of black licorice abruptly sweeps in - a quick yet striking flavor that refreshes your palate for the grand finale. And what a finale it is: the PSD4 culminates into a luscious explosion of creamy milk chocolate, cedar, and a hint of spiced nuance leaving a lingering sweetness that beckons you to savor every last moment.
In this dance of flavors, the Partagas Series 4 has not only captured your senses but also your memories, reminding you why this cigar remains a timeless treasure.
Yes, some cigars are just that good... a true pipedream.
