From the Vault: I’ve been putting off this Candela for a while as you need to be in a special mood for a candela cigar.
It’s no surprise that this is a very, very mild cigar. The process of making a candela wrapper halts fermentation and therefore yields a very mild leaf.
This cigar starts off pretty good in the first few puffs. The draw is easy and the burn is straight.
As far as flavor is concerned, this is a candela, therefore it is pretty much bland and tasteless.
There is hay and wood notes, but there is an overwhelming sourness very soon after beginning this cigar.
The sourness remains until I give up on it altogether. Try a Camacho Candela instead if you want a good candela.
