Monte 4 question

[Smitty914]

I just bought a box of 10 #4's to try. I've heard alot of mixed reviews on them. I know they make a shit load of them every year. How are they smoking the past few years?

I've had boxes from '14-'16 and all have been solid smokes.

What about super partagas for an everyday smoke with the paper? I picked up 2 boxes for 150. Along with 2 boxes each of party shorts, r&j cedro's, HUPC, and BPC.

Good boxes will smoke well. Crap boxes won't. It's not a year-by-year thing, it's a box-by-box thing.

As to the super party, personally I think they're in a class below the others you mentioned, but they're not bad smokes. The others you mentioned are some of my favorites.

two at a time is a manly approach to this hobby............

I went through multiple boxes of '14 and '15 Monte 4s and they were stellar. Becoma one of my go-tos for a couple years.
Bought a couple boxes of '16s. and have been disappointed. Hopefully it's like Ninja said and is a box thing.

If you've already bought them, then you will be able to tell us how they are smoking.

I have a box from '10 and one from '14 and both are smoking well. Monte 4s are one of my favorites....

I've got alot more money than sense.

Were the boxes from 14 and 15 as young when you smoked them as your 16 box was/is?

Yes. Definitely not a "not aged enough" thing. I've actually only smoked out of one '16 box. Hoping the other is better, though it's the same box code.

When they were on sale last year, I went very deep on some 2014 boxes and I smoked a lot of them of this past winter. All were great smokes.
