Tatuaje Noellas Reserva.. what to do... what to do...

Probably not a good idea to ask a bunch of enablers but, here I go... :cool:

I'm pretty much a newb noob. The Noellas Reserva is the only Tatuaje I've smoked - had three and loved every one of 'em. So, are they really going away? Are they super unique or is there a general similar style I can find in another Tatuaje? I ask because I'm considering a box purchase BUT if I can get the same/similar profile from a different Tat that will still be generally available, I'll probably hold off. More of a space issue than anything else.

What say you? Go all in or hold off??? Any recommendations for something similar?

If they run out of those I think we know where most of them landed. thechasm442 probably could enlighten us.

Lmao...they really are that good.

Regios are very close as well. I just like the balance of wrapper to filler in the noellas a bit more. You also cannot go wrong with the J21, and those are not going away to the best of my knowledge.

The reason the Regios and Noellas were discontinued in 2014. I asked Pete Johnson last spring why he was not going to make them any more. Pete said there were so many made that he won't have to make them again for a few years.

Hey Joe how's the snow? Stay warm.

We are pretty lucky most of the snow has been missing us. We only have about 6 inches on the ground but the temp right now is -15 with the wind chill. I'm enjoying a Padron no.6 maduro right now in the warmth of my kitchen where my exhaust fan is kicking ass taking care of the smoke.

Hopefully Pete doesn't wait too long because they're drying up. Grab them while you can. They age very well and who knows when he'll choose to release another run. It could years before you see them again once they're gone.

The Noella has a Habano Ecuador wrapper while the Reserva is wrapped in CT broadleaf.

Is there a significant difference in flavor?

I've been going an entirely different way. At this point I can knock down 2 dark antano's in a row on an empty stomach. Bring on the ass kicking!

IMO yes. Broadleaf has a unique aroma and flavor.

Yeah I haven't met a Broadleaf wrapped cigar I haven't liked yet but I was looking at Smallbatch and all they have is the Noellas so I thought if the profile was similar I'd grab a 5er.

Theres nothing wrong with the regular Noella. Its just not broadleaf so the profile is a little different. All depends on what your looking for.
