  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

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?

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.

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.

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