Plus your always plugged Carlos. :-)

It's hard to pick not knowing what you like.
For something to smoke now I would agree on the Monte#4's over the PSD4. If you are going to put them away for 3-5 years (or more) I would lean more towards the PSD4.

I'm going to go against the grain and say grab the PSD4. I have much less than a box of TEB 08 and every one has been outstanding. The Monte 4 seems more inconsistent (at least to me).

I think the key is, ask your vendor what is smoking good right now. Tell them what you're thinking. Have them open and select a box for you. They may have an even better suggestion based on what they see day in and day out.

Hope you get a "cracker" box of whatever you decide.

Edit again to say: as far as aging, start with something that has potential. I don't believe 10 years will turn around a rancid cigar.

Thanks everyone for your good points! Probably going to get both and share with a few buddies so I'll have some of each. :-)

good choice on getting both... you can never get enough... i went from 12 cigars to well over 300 in a matter of weeks...

Had a PSD4 from '94 and '95 last month. Both were AWESOME!

+1 for PSD4 aging :-)

PSD4's in route. Can't wait.

You'll enjoy them I'm sure. If not, I'm sure you won't have trouble finding anyone to take them off your hands. LOL

I am telling you guys over and over and you just don't seem to understand.

This Cuban aging crap is so, so overrated.

This freaking week, H1N1, coupled with a kidney stone of all other things that could have happened, and then throw in putting your buddy down to sleep and this aged Cuban was a mess. In fact, I would have much preferred to be young or ROTT instead. I think I could have handled it better that way. So...............fresh is awesome at times, specially once you get old and realize being fresh is long lost story.:-)

You can always get old. You can't always get young.

If you happen to get old and by luck "get young", well, there is a term for that..................dirty old man.

I've heard it called "lucky bastard" as well :-)
