My first box purchase was PSD4, but I had the patience to sit on them for 6 months based on everything I'd read about them, and I never had one that tasted "sick." They are worth the wait IMO, one of my favorite cigars. They do come in a 10 count box, so if your funds are limited, you count buy a 10 or 25 count of the Monte 4 and a 10 count of the PSD4 to sit on! If you can afford it, I would just buy a 25 ct of each.
