If the new Noella reserva is even half as good as the 09 & 06 then it will be well worth the money- both of the previous releases are classic! they tend to get better & better with age.

I think I've seen the Tat SW Maduro at a couple locals in recent times...in other words, readily available. There may be some others, but I can't keep up with all the different bands so I may be staring at some rare Tats and not even know it.  |

I very much doubt what you were seeing is the SW Reserva maddies. Most likely they were SW Reserva natties which are a great smoke but not HTF. If they are the maddies buy 'em all. Someone here will be happy to have them.  DED |

Yeah they only made 200 boxes of SW reserva maddies & it was only sold out of one shop for charity those baby's been long gone since 2009. |

The 200 boxes is correct but the one shop thing is not unless the shpo close to me was the only one. I purchased 9-10 boxes myself mostly for others here who couldn't find them. DED |

Was it Sabor Havana?
Here's some info-
According to Pete Johnson, owner of Tatuaje, his good friend and sales person in the state of Florida by the name of Paul asked him to roll a few of his extremely popular SW (which stands for “Sir Winston”, a homage to the Cuban cigar of the same name) cigar with a Maduro wrapper for him to taste and smoke. Sadly, he died soon after. In his memory, Pete had the 200 boxes made with a Maduro wrapper, sold them through one store, (Sabor Havana Cigars) and donated all of the proceeds from the sale to Paul’s family.

No not that store as I am in Az. This place was one of the 1st shpos to carry Pete's line and he got an allotment of the SW maddies. I think I about cleaned him out.

DED the shpo in Arizona that Pete did the favor for was the single run of 200 Regios Reservas. I’m 98.2% positive I’m correct |

I shipped about 5 boxes to folks here, smoked many and I still have maybe 2-3 singles on these. Definitely not Regios. |

People flipping the latest rerelease of the T110 for nearly a 100% markup the day they received them. I thought I'd get a chance to buy a few singles, but no dice. The Tat hype lives on. |
| 76. Author: deadeyedick | Date: Tue, 4/27/2021, 6:48PM EST | |
In almost every case I can think of the new release of one of these Tat cigars is not as good as the originals. I guess that could be due to the age they have now or their scarcity but it seems most are just not of the same quality of components.
IMO: The old Verocu were much better than the newer releases available now. |

The first run was local to me, so I was hoping to just walk in a grab a couple to see how they compared to the originals. I didn't want to pony up for a box sight unseen, but you'll never catch a hype train like that. |

IMO: The old Verocu were much better than the newer releases available now. I'd have to agree and even go as far as saying the new release broadleaf reservas are not a very good cigar at all. However, I am a noob and the 2013 noella reserva release still hits home for me, and I have a few left that need to get torched soon. Other than that the new LE sumatra releases were a miss as well. I did go for a few of the T110s and am hoping for magic but my brain is telling me to step back to reality before lighting one. |

Sadly, the best money buy for tats is aging brown labels, PCR, or 2012 Conoju which has more RG than I care for. |

I hear you though, I just ponied up hard for a couple of TAA 2014 boxes and it is ridiculous what old school Tats go for now. |
