Jealous!
I think the oldest were better than the new Tat 10th Anni at this point. Age makes a difference.

I never even heard Pete was making this new Noellas until I walked into my shpo yesterday, so I grabbed some along with the new Noellas Reserva and Regios Reserva.
I'm not sure if this new one will replace the current Noellas or is in addition to them but it is different. To begin with the wrapper is darker than usual but lighter than the Reservas line. It has a closed foot and a new round band that says Tattoo on the top, Tatuaje in the middle, the number 10 then Miami below. The band is brown with gold lettering. Same size as the current Noellas.
Pre-light sniff of the foot was of salt, molasses with just a very slight hint of ammonia. The burn was straight throughout and the flavor profile stayed close to the current line with a hint of spice on the back of the throat. Most of the way it stayed med+ in strength. The last 1/3 turned slightly acrid and I'm thinking these need some down time to be at their best. A nice smoke that should age well.
My local doesn't know what a Tatuaje is......
