Personally? I love the Iguana Candela's.

They are a inexpensive stick with a lot of flavor.

Probably one of the only things I buy from Thompson.

I have smoked 50's and 60's Habanos with Candela wrappers and thought they were fine. I think that style wrapper really works well like CT Shade just makes for a beautifully wrapped cigar.

I wish Habanos would launch a run of Churchill size cigars in Candela wrapper.

There's a constant debate on how much the wrapper plays to the overall flavor of the cigar. At a minimum, the wrapper is on the lips and has small percent of total burning mass.

Whether the grassiness one tastes in some NC Candela wrapped cigars is from the wrapper I think is inconclusive. I would like to see some blindfolded tastings to see. The eyes can trick the mind into certain conclusions. Just like using totally black wine glasses and tasting a wine can give a much different impression than a clear glass….

Don Tomas makes a half way decent candela. The best I've had was the HL.

I remember that my grandfather smoked them a lot when I was a kid, I think there were Antonio y Cleopatra or A.C. Grenadier, something along those lines.

The Fuente's are better imho and I'm actually a big Camacho fan.
