While I'm at it:

What kind of wrapper is a Claro wrapper? Is that another term for Sungrown? ???

 

[lucasbuck]

Green wrappers are usually referred to as Claro, Claro - Double Claro - or Candela.

 

[cvmfour]

AAAAHHH....I got you Lucas...Thanks

Are they tasty or any good?

 

[lucasbuck]

Some like them. They have a very mild almost minty quality. I've heard the AF's are the best available. I've had a few but didn't care for any of them. Lumberg used to be a big fan. Not sure if he still is though.

There's a rumor that Havana is experimenting with Candelas again. Could be interesting.

I think the left is a Spanish Lonsdale and the right is an 858.

 

[cvmfour]

Thanks guy! Keep the suggestions coming...

I think I'll pick of a couple singles of both to see how they are :thumbs:

I bought a 5er of the Don Tomas Candela off Cbid for fun, always wanted to try one, I didn't like it at all. If you want the other 4, I'll send them too you, pm me.

Candela was the most popular wrapper for almost 50 years. I'm really not sure what combination of factors caused that to change,

 

[camaroon4me]

I think that one of them might be the "Fuente Kermit Penissimo" :lookup: , and I would have to guess that it tastes like chicken, with hints of sweet and sour pork!

I've tried the Iguana Candela wrapper cigars and really liked them, despite the fact that I usually prefere a much stronger smoke.

TA - if you really don't want those... oohhh too late.

PS: Hope you like the Avatar.

I already claimed them Treamayne


Thanks for your help guys. This is great group of guys we got on this board and I can feel the love :love: . I always think smoking cigars is about trying everything out there; Even the green ones

 

[Treamayne]

Enjoy.... ya can't blame me for tryin'. <grin>

ANd if you like them and want to try some other Candela Wrapper cigars. Iguana is a decent smoke. Mild with a tinge of sweet to it.
