I don't know, even at $18 there's so much more I'd choose ahead of it.

Glad the Noellas are smoking well, I was going to sit on mine until next summer but maybe I'll have to sample one this spring.

I've been offered a couple more jars at a slightly discounted price as they have some foot damage, if anyone's keen let me know!

Foot damage is never a problem unless you want to re-sell later. Take the discount!

I think that's my takeaway, too. Certainly not unpleasant, but the flavour is lacking a depth that I would want with a cigar of that size. At US pricing of $18 it's an easy pick-up, but for the £40+ here it's something I probably won't touch again.

The H Upmann Noella tho - wow, I was surprised. Full of flavour from the get-go and very little astringency considering how fresh it is. Very chuffed, thank you for the split.

Sold mine to PeeJay. Took me around 2 1/2 hours to smoke the few I did, found myself getting bored before the end. Disappointing as there's just something very alluring about them.

The Bull is a great smoke - one of the very few NCs I really enjoy 💪

A bit late to the party, but for me a Andalusian Bull followed by a Upmann…

Perfect day, made more so by my Secret Santa. Luncheon with the family, walk on the beach & along the Bunny Chine. Then home to a Punch EL 2013, with a bottle of Palm Double strength Belgium beer. 😋
May thanks to my S.S. much appreciated.
