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.

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!
