H UPMANN NOELLAS NO CODE (HURW)

[cigaraholic]

This cigar was a gift so I don’t know the code. This will probably be the only time I smoke a Noellas, never have been able to get past their price, or really the jars price.

It’s a beautiful looking cigar with a colorado maduro wrapper, feels well filled and is at 8.7 gr.

This cigar starts at 100 mph...sweet, earthy, woody, spicy, licorice and espresso. It’s a mouth coating, lip smacking, deliciously rich cigar. I always drink coffee with Sambuca in Italy and this cigar just transported me 6,000 miles. If this cigar came in boxes I’d have a mountain of them.

An hour of Habanos bliss!

PS: shortbread cookies need not apply.

The last couple jars I've purchased have been similar to what you described. In your face and very good.

The Jars only cost 122.25 CUC in Cuba, so I bring a jar back every time I find one.

Now I know what to bring back when I get to Cuba?

Are these only available in the jars?

Yes. When I’m in Havana they seemed to either be lots of them everywhere or more often than not, none anywhere. They are a great value when you can get them there.

They're terrific cigars one vendor had them really well priced a few years ago and I stocked up.  I have one jar in the box vacuum sealed 1.5 years so far.

None to be found in Havana as of a couple weeks ago. This was near the top of my list but was disappointed to not find any. Only jar available was the expensive SCs.

The SC’s always seem to be around but Noellas not very often.

They did a flip-flop these last couple of years where the Noellas were available and SC were not. I guess they realized where the money is. While the SC jar is in deed beautiful and the cigars even better, the Noellas jar was probably the best deal as far as cigars go in Havana. Just my 2 cents, of course.

That’s why I wanted the Noellas darn it! I don’t see myself shelling out 500 CUC on the SCs when that buys anything else plus some on the island.

Last time I was down in October, none of the LCDH’s had them. I did find a couple of jars in the cigar shop on the 2nd floor of the Parque Central hotel. They are always on my shopping list. I was pleasantly surprised the first time that I smoked one!

Bought a jar recently from Poland. Paid a hefty price though. But still much better than UK prices! One of my favourite cigars. Bought a handful from a local forum coupled of years ago. So when I found one, nabbed it. Few years of age on it too when I bought it.

Oh for a trip to Cuba...
