khomeinist Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 BRC Do not like PSD4, regardless of factory....
mk05 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 You're nuts if you didn't like the past summer's Partagas D4's (April-July box code). Edited: read some previous posts and subconsciously wrote factory instead of date.
BonVivant Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Wow, PSD4s were rolled at Partagas factory in 2012? Fantastic! Can you provide the code, please?
khomeinist Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Ok. I'm nuts. Lol. Never found the robusto vitola a particularly efficient delivery vehicle for the complex spiciness that characterizes Partagas at its best. SDC and Seleccion Privada for Partagas. Lonsdales, coronas, and even shorts in a pinch. The 'Serie' cigars just don't measure up....
MatthewB Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Flip a coin Both will offer an enjoyable experience...
Ptowncigar Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I'm a fan of both, however I would give a edge to BRC. Plus it seems like the 2012 are smoking really well.
David67 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I must go with the Bolivar Royal Coronas. Last box I got, from Rob, of these was amazing!
Wil Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Not my favourite vitola, but do love PSD4 when on.
Troels Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Beside being recommended here, the BRC is cheapest - would be a consideration to me
olotti Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 These are two flavor profiles I find are my favorites. The earthy, richness, coffee and white pepper of the Boli is bar none then I love the sweet spice and rich tobacco of the Partagas line.The BRC has been consistently better but if you can get a box of each from FOH than youll be treated right in spades and find the specialties both marcas have to offer.
shrink Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Either can be good to great, depending on the box. Ask the FOH folks to choose the best box of either one, and you'll be happy. 1
CaptainQuintero Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Huh whichever you enjoy the most??!! No one here is smoking them for you! Buy what you enjoy not what others say you should enjoy! If you haven't had either before, grab a robusto splits sampler or the HQ best of march deal.
SMQQKIN Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Can't go wrong with either ,but BRC are more consistent X2
polarbear Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 PSD4 for me I find I'm happy to smoke them anytime but need to be in the mood for a BRC
BMack Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 BRC for me, Bolivar does amazing things upon rest/aging.
Hubba Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Huh whichever you enjoy the most??!! No one here is smoking them for you! Buy what you enjoy not what others say you should enjoy! If you haven't had either before, grab a robusto splits sampler or the HQ best of march deal. I see answers like this on occasion....is it so hard to to say i prefer X because of X?
finecigar Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 BRCs have been much better smoke for me over the years. Don't get me wrong, PSD4s are wonderful smokes to but the BRC is a much better choice. I've had some quality issues (both smoke and construction) with the Partagas, not as much with bolivar

Moogypug Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Both are great. To me, they're so different that I can't really say one is really better than the other. With the stock I have, the BRC's are smoking well younger than the psd4 but YMMV
BBS Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Both are staples, I have a couple boxes of each in the cabinet. As has been said, it's sort of an apples and oranges comparison. Flip a coin.....then buy a box of each.....
smpf67 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 PSD4 all the way!! They have been great from 2012-2014.
purpleloki Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I'd grab a box of each. Both of those robustos are goto sticks for me that are always in my humidor's main rotation. This
FLB03TT Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 PSD4 for me I find I'm happy to smoke them anytime but need to be in the mood for a BRC Exact opposite reaction for me. The BRC is the far more everyday stick in my humi. The PSD4 and most Partagas, for that matter, have a very unique and distinctive flavor profile. When i'm in the mood for a Partagas, only a Partagas will satisfy. The BRC, while sharing the Bolivar brand profile with other Boli. vitolas, has a fundamental taste more similar than different to several other popular Robustos. Think RASS or HdM Epi.#2. Bottom line is I like them both, but probably smoke a BRC or one of it's peers 15-1 over a PSD4.
FLB03TT Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Sorry, fat fingered the above. polarbear's quote is the 1st two lines. 1
