RA & HU Noella jars/cigars (side by side)

[Puros Y Vino]

A little photo comparison, which maybe no one has done yet.

As for the cigars themselves. The RA Noella's are shorter by 3mm.  This seems to be the case in the last photo. 

Here are the CCW stats for both.

So exactly the same as I suspected. Easy $200 for HSA and they couldn't even give us a Cosacos.

I'm afraid to ask, but I'm assuming the RA costs 2x or more for the same cigar they slapped a Upmann band on previously.

I love the RA band that has Noellas! Thank you for the comparison photos.

HU Noellas aren't exactly cheap anymore. Good luck finding them less than $400. The RA Noellas are $500 in Italy so more like $600 worldwide. 

The HU Noellas were $206 in Cuba just 18 months ago. Now $313. Yes, the Noellas are very good cigars but those jars are dirt cheap to produce. Without a doubt one of HSA's most profitable regular production cigars.

I’d acquire both if I didn’t have to buy the jar.

The jars are useful to store singles.

Mind showing both factory stamps? You know, for purposes of comparison.

Here you go.

HU has it on the bottom of the inner cedar lid. The RA's on the bottom of the box.(It is not stamped on the cider lid at all)
