Green Cigars?

Just because a cigar is mild doesn't mean it's not full flavored. I don't think they are any more mild than the natural. Just a different flavor. The Camacho's are a good medium.

Candela wrappers are not bad at all! They are not very common, but many brands do have a candela wrapper.

I enjoy a nice candela every once in a while...

From some of my research, candelas were once the favorite smoke in the US... Celtics legendary coach and team president Red Auerbach famously smoked candelas exclusively.

How can this statement be true? A cigar that has is full flavored is "full" and cigar that has a mild flavor is "mild." It doesn't mean it has no flavor just a mild set of flavors...

Doesn't Mild/Full reffer more to the nic than the flavor??

Well, you can't taste nic... so I don't know. I would assume that strength refers to nic. I would also assume that the context of this thread is about flavor not nic content...

I had to check to make sure, but I had always called greenish wrappers double claros, and I guess that's the same as candela previously?

The wrapper is dried quickly with the use of heat, for whatever reason.

I find them a little sweet in flavor and enjoy the Graycliff double claro occasionally, although I wouldn't be in fits if my humidor was void of any light green cigars.
