Depends (as with all cigars) what quality you've got. I haven't tried the candelas they have here. Some absolutely hate candela wrappers. They're actually not bad IMHO for a change of pace. They're generally very mild, kind of an "earthy" flavor. Do I know what the earth tastes like? Nope, but that's how I describe it. Try Hoyo de Monterrey's candela, or La Gloria Cubana's. I once bought my father-in-law some Macanudo candelas. They were not bad.
