Tried the Reserva and it was very very good. Can't wait to try the natural.

I just finished a Reserva, gifted to me by Dave (uncelnino) and it is a damn fine cigar.

Kinda reminds me of the OR El Triunfador's! :thumbsup:

Just received mine. Now time for a little rest.

these need no rest... a few days to stabilize after shipping, and smoke up!!

I would agree with Danilo and Larry, these things are great ROTT!

The Natural might be a bit better IMO, but the Maduro is no slouch! It reminds me a lot of the OR El Triunfador with a tad more spice.

Both are really good! :thumbsup:

Well, I smoked a noella reserva around noon then waited until 5 to fire up the NHC reserva. My opinion is that the Noella was way smoother.

I am not sure if these smokes are meant to compare, IMO they do not.

I would say that the NHC reserva tasted closer to a Padron.

Keep in mind that this is just my experience, I only smoked one, the time of day was later and that it has only been in my humidor for a few days.

Since I like my smokes smoother I believe that a few months rest will bring them closer to my liking.

Overall, I did enjoy it.

Dies, since that Noella Reserva probably had a year or longer of age on it your comment is right about having the NHC rest for a few months to be more to your current taste liking!

I am happy that you agree.

Though even when I was going through the noellas when the were fresh, they did not have the dark abrasive taste.

I just love those Noellas. There is this hidden sweet spicy goodness on the very end of the finish that keeps me coming back.

The Noella Reserva is the same blend as the Tatuaje Cabinet Noella. The difference is the Oscuro Ligero wrapper that really gives this cigar an extra punch.

I was speaking of the second release noella reserva. The 2009 release was wrapped with broadleaf.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Right you are my friend, and the NHC Reserva also has a broadleaf wrapper.

 

[AlohaStyle]

Pete was telling us in Nicaragua that Pepin sourced a very good amount of Broadleaf recently which was used in the NHC sticks and some other Tatuaje cigars that will be coming out shortly. So the broadleaf on the Noella Reserva and the NHC sticks are not the exact same I believe.

I would have to agree. Even if they were the "same" the crop would be different.

I didn't have my hopes to high. Can't blame me for wishing.

 

[srduggins]

Great info, thanks for posting all that. I hesitate to say this, but am I the only one who is less than thrilled with the broadleaf wrapper? Not that I don't like it, I just am not amazed with it. I think it is better with age. Except for the RSW maddie - that stick completely amazes me.

I understand that, but it is worded to say list price, and our price which implies that someone else is selling them for more. Should say list price and box discount, or something of that nature.

Again not an issue, just funny to see the wording that companies use to help market their product.

Dude that is just how his shopping cart is set up. It has nothing to do with him trying to market it a certain way to help it sell. The list price is what I set for the retail for the single stick....which I think is very fair and Dan is very generous to be giving a discount on that price......He could have raised the retail up to $8.88 per stick and given 10% off of that to make it look like you were getting a deal.

FYI, The Wrapper on the Original Noellas Reserva from 2006 was Habano Oscuro. High priming but not necessarily Ligero.
The newer wrapper on both the Noella Reserva and NHC Reserva is a Conn. Broadleaf Maduro that comes from a viso priming.

I enjoyed both blends.
