Green Cigars? - Page 2

One of the absolute worst cigars I have ever smoked in my life.

There are others out there, like "The Angry Elf".
Candela wrappers were what everyone smoked a long time ago. They just fell out of fashion.

I've smoked a few Candelas in my time and they were all pretty awful. I never smoked an A. Fuente Candela though. The smell from a Candela cigar is pretty stinky too. Columbo loved them and everyone else around him did not. LOL

I've never even seen one in person

I've had a few. They're mild, and they do have a grassier flavor than more of the regular lines. It's definitely a little different. I believe I still have one in my cooler. Gonna save it up for next St. Patrick's day, put another year on it.

Nice review.

Mild Medium and Full can refer both to the body and strength or so I have read.

I am not a fan of the Candela wrapper. If you look at catalogs from the boom years, probably 1 in two ads featured candela wrapped smokes. Ligero and oscuro were practically unadvertised 10 years ago. Some like em, just not my cup of tea.

Me likey candela wrapper, at least on the much older cigars I've gotten my hands on that had it. I have yet to smoke a modern candela.

I have never had a candela I have enjoyed all the way through. Some start out great then go downhill, some start out bad then become okay. They are just not for me.
