Cabdelas

10-16-2009, 05:38 PM

Sitting on my back porch, half way through my first don tomas candela out of a fiver i picked up a few days ago. The cigar in one word: green. Everything about it, the taste, the look, the aroma. Not bad at all though, and even though its mild there is still a decent amount of complexity to the stick, sweet with tastes or grass and banana but with a nice soft background spice that makes it downright enjoyable.At less than $2 a stick I really can't complain.

I can't see this becoming a regular smoke, but I am liking the one I've got. I might post an official review later. Just wondering if anyone else out there has tried candelas before? And whats your general opinion of these incredible hulk look-alikes?

Generally too mild for me. A very clean tasting cigar as I remember.

Never had a candela. Are there similarities to the Cuban Vegueros?

I'm pretty sure the only similarities might be the taste, candela wrappers are fermented completely differently from most other cigar wrappers. They use heat to lock in the chlorophyll during fermentation. I'm pretty sure Vegueros wrappers aren't given the same treatment.
