I thought the last tuesday would be covered by above.
But it has run everyday since 22nd.
Have googled a bit:

plus other crontab pages.

15 18 22-28 * * test 'date +\%a' != Tue || /command
Am uncertain if above would work ootb.
man crontab (22 September 2010) doesn't shed light on this.
From the manual:
Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified in the follow‐
ing two fields — 'day of month', and 'day of week'. If both fields are
restricted (i.e., do not contain the "*" character), the command will
be run when either field matches the current time. For example,
"30 4 1,15 * 5" would cause a command to be run at 4:30 am on the 1st
and 15th of each month, plus every Friday.
that was the crontab I used.
That matches your example.
I mean man crontab, didn't give example for 4th m\t\w\.. of month
