This thread made me dig out the only 2 candela cigars I have -- both Astral candelas. I got a 5 pack a while back (2-3 yrs?). I don't remember if I liked them or not, which probably means I didn't. Let's see how time has treated these phlegm-colored beauties.

Pre-light draw, honestly, tastes like...fish. NOT a flavor I personally enjoy in a cigar. I almost just tossed the cigars, but I figured what they hey, I may as well give 'em a shot.

First few draws taste like...burning fish.

Got a little bit more tolerable after the first few draws. Grassy, with a weird flavor on the finish that I can't describe. Nose exhale is VERY grassy.

I kept soldiering on to see if the cigar got any better.

It didn't.

Smoked about 1" and tossed it.
