You know, I was skeptical. I was gifted an avocado, or some such brand name.

I expected an extremely mild smoke, ala the macanudos.....and was pleasantly surprised to find otherwise. Good flavor, nice draw, decent burn. Way more than I expected in a $2 smoke. Kinda like a really good light beer on a hot day. Refreshing, but not overwhelming.

I have three in my humi now, I sent one to the old guitar playing fishing dude. Wonder what he thinks of it.

Bought a box of AF 858 claro's about a year ago, smoke one now and then, kinda works like a palate cleanser; really makes you appreciate a full flavored stick.

If you wanna try one let me know.

I've only tried a Candela cigar once, back in 2004 when I started here. I don't remember what brand it was, but I didn't like it. I thought it tasted like grass (the stuff that grows in your yard, not the other stuff!!). Just my meaningless .02

Baccarat's Candelas are pretty good. Hardly any sweetness with a good tobacco taste. No salad filler their!

Didn't you guys hear? Pete Johnson, Lord of All Things Cigars Himself, declared that Dion of Illusione Cigars made the candela cigar wrapper "cool again" and no one else is allowed to use it. Especially that punk Andre at Viaje.

I've tried several candelas and, while they are not in my regular rotation, I've had a couple I liked. Cuba Aliados makes a nice one as I remember. The comparison to a light beer on a hot day was a good one. I find them kind of reminding me of the flavor of green tea, only a little more hay-type flavor. It sounds terrible but I kind of like them occasionally. Very cool smoking and kind of creamy as well.

Tried a few candela wrapped cigars over the years, hated all of them. The grassy taste of this wrapper just isn't for me. I remember when I was a kid, the old dudes were really digging on the candelas. Everywhere you looked there seemed to be an old dude smoking a green stogie. Today's old dudes (myself included) seem to most often be observed smoking the darker maduro wrapped stogies.
