It's tough from a value perspective. A number 1 costs almost as much as a number 2 with almost 30% less weight. Number 3 costs more than the length increase over number 4 would suggest, at that point you might as well pay the bit more and get a number 2 or 1 (so you're probably right number 3 is the most overlooked for this reason). Of course there's also the issue that tons of number 4 are produced and the question of whether or not quality can be maintained...

Yes, well said! ?

The calculus may be different in Australia since you are taxed by weight, so the 1 is probably considerably cheaper than the 2, and so on.

For the Australian market that's correct.

How have these evolved so far?  I have a LEP DEC-16 box that I have not touched yet.

I'd say crack into them and give one or two a shot. I've had maybe 8 from this box and they're all smoking well. They haven't entirely smoothed out yet, but the 'caramel' that everyone talks about is slowly coming out.

PSD4 LMB OCT 18. I am starting to detect some fine flavors underneath a woody bitter edge here. Very promising and smokeable but staying down for more rest.

Punch Short de Punch TPO Sep 19

I wouldn't be exaggerating in stating how genuinely surprised I am at how good these Punch Short de Punch cigars are smoking right now, for me. Despite being less than a year old this box has more than delivered in regards to quality and satisfaction. Put it this way, I have an unopened box of Punch Punch from 2016 and it is my solemn hope that they turn out to smoke like this box has, when I get around to 'cracking' open that box!

It's not as if the Punch Short de Punch is overly complex because it's not. It's a simple cigar that exemplifies how honestly good Punch can be. The flavours I consistently get are a combination of sour cream, cedar, leather and a Cuban twang 'tart' citrus which is simply so pleasant to smoke.

I should move on to a plethora of other Habanos options and give this box some more time to develop but the truth is I won't. There's only 2 left from this 10-count box and I envisage I will be done with them before the end of the year. Thankfully I have another box ready to replace this one when that happens!

Montecristo No.1 ESL Dic 2017
If there was a poll conducted to seek out the most under-rated Montecristo cigar I wonder if the Montecristo No.1 would top it. I would think the top prize would go to the often neglected and unheralded coronas-sized Montecristo No.3, but I would hasten to add that the Lonsdale-sized Montecristo No.1 wouldn't be too far behind.
I smoked this soon after I enjoyed a superlative Montecristo Especiales No.2 and honestly I have to admit that this Montecristo No.1 wasn't too far behind in terms of quality and satisfaction. So what were the similarities and differences? Both cigars had that Montecristo renowned milk coffee and cocoa and a hint of citrus twang. This Montecristo No.1 however was more towards mild-medium in strength, it wasn't as cream-textured and it had more of a toasted tobacco and leather combined flavour to it which wasn't present in the Montecristo Especiales No.2.
It's a pity the Montecristo No.1 doesn't get more attention from cigar enthusiasts. After all, it's only 10 millimetres (or two-fifths of an inch) longer than a Cohiba Siglo III but a lot better value in terms of price in comparison.

Good to hear. I have not had one yet but do have a box on the way. I really like Punch cigars; I’m having a Punch Punch from a cab as I type this.

Indeed, the one and only! I ended my day by making up for my lack of catch with some fine, fresh oysters on my way home.  Love that area
