When I consider this candela wrapper, the first words that come to mind, are:

1. Scummy. I'm a careful, conscientious wrapper of cigars. I really care about the craft. But there is only so much you can do with this wrapper to show that you care. These things pick up any erstwhile invisible board residues; they bruise, they splotch. If you leave your bunches lying around out of the mold for some reason and they lose their marble-smoothness, those lumps show through, magnified. They are scummy.

2. Mild. This is the thing I like about them. They bring a sort of new freshness to any blend, like what Irish Spring soap does to your body in the commercials. They are the opposite of macho. You don't smoke them to feel more like the man around here, yo, or the woman with refinement who takes what she wants. They've got "dressing properly for a warm spring day in the South" freshness. Only there's a discoloration in the fabric.

3. Greenish. Not green, per se. Never as green as you'd hoped. But in terms of RGB, there's some G in there. Not enough G, but some.

So what's the blend? What is it you love about it? Curious minds want to know....
1 Jalapa ligero, 1 Jalapa viso, 1 cubra seco, Ecuadorian habano seco binder, FX Smith CT shade wrapper. This blend is milder than most I roll, but it still has a lot of complex and earthy flavors with a really decent spice that keeps me engaged with the smoke

I never tried that specific blend with the Jalapa ligero, which now I ain't got. Did you ever try it with any of the other LO Nica ligeros? I ask because I have all the others in stock. I also have all the other stuff. Thx.

I haven't tried it with any other nica ligero, but I have also tried it with piloto cubano ligero and it is still a killer blend.
