IMHO, I think so but, I haven't smoked a lot of candelas so not exactly an expert on them.

How was the gran habano deadeye?
75414 Alec Bradley nica puro romusto


Some nice flavors of graham cracker and molasses esp on the cold draw and first 1/3 but soft and mild smoke throughout. Not worth the coin IMO.

Frank I’ve never had another candela that I actually like. When those are gone I’ll likely pick up more.

75423 - LCA From Chico toro. Fantastic! They were good when I got them, but man, that was boss.
75424 - Caldwell E.S. Sungrown romusto

75426 - LCA El Septimo Zaya Nueva romosto. This was interesting because I didn't read anything about the cigar before smoking it, and while smoking I kept thinking "this is hands down the worst LCA release I have smoked. Wow, I could have had a 5 Vegas Nicaragua and enjoyed it much more than this $15 piece of crap." Harsh flavors, a hay flavor I associate with cheap cigars, wonky burn. Blah, but you know, that happens sometimes trying new stuff. d'oh!

BUT WAIT, there's more! Toward the end, I started reading about it, and the $15 apiece price was an early bird special, and they've jacked the price up to $28 apiece. El Septimo is supposedly some "luxury" cigar maker? Liar Luxury this, luxury that, etc. How about a luxury hand job? Brick wall

That's what my friend told me anyway

75427 - MF Le Bijou Petite Rob
A 2 month nap. These are absolutely fantastic. Got them from the Page.
They taste, to me, like they have been around a while.
I got lucky with this batch.

Personal favorite of mine for sure, enjoy 888 in candela as well. The BWS Killer Bee petite corona (it's a barber pole technically) was also really tasty, need to source more of those. Most of the other candelas I've tried haven't been that interesting, but there are a few I've not tried that are "popular" like the AB Filthy Hooligan. Though, with how I view AB I likely won't bother.

^ I didn’t bother with that one either. I saw a cigar called wasabi that sorta caught my interest but I’ve yet to try one. I don’t want candela too often so it’s not like I get burnt out on the HL.

^ that’s a machine made smoke but for 4$ if that’s still the price I wouldn’t hate a bundle laying around. Good flavor I’m about half way through. It’s 41 or 43 ring I looked them up

Huzza the I really like those and the original v. Lee said the v is about like licking a fire hydrant I personally like both quite a bit. The melanio goes on sale a lot.

Melanios are boss. Regular Vs taste like sweaty sumo crack. Allegedly. With notes of white pepper on the retrohale.

75470 - LCA Volute toro. This was interesting - a Peruvian puro. I wanted to like it more. It wasn't bad, and showed promise, but had some rough spots at the moment. I think the other two are going to rest a couple of years, and I'm looking forward to retrying.

75476 - Ave Maria Divinia perfecto. Not killer. But damaging. Or menancing? Dangerous? Injurious? It was solid.
