  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

zilla's back! and he brought me a green cigar, said he got it from a lumberjack in oregon



nice hefty feel to it



crisp clean cut,easy light with a bit of a bite on the tongue immediatly



maybe it's because it's green,but i'm tasting bell pepper with hot sauce



heavy clouds of smoke with every puff,strong tobacco taste



possible burn issue,will see if it corrects itself



light tea flavor with a little pistachio,maybe i just have green on my mind



very light flaky ash,burn seems to be correcting itself,no touch up needed



settling in nicely,a little earthiness with mild spice creeping in



did a retrohale,burned my nostrils,made my eyes water and i got a little dizzy.think i'll do it again...lol



picking up some earthy wood with a little zing to accompany the tea/coffee taste



little more pepper spice kicked in at the end. a solid med/full bodied cigar that coats the pallet and gets my saliva glands to going.
a very enjoyable cigar that i would smoke again.
hey zilla,got any more of these?

Zilla sure knows how to pick his women and cigars!

Nice review and pic's Ron! :thumbsup:

(The only candela cigar I smoked and liked were Nat Sherman's....and they were made by Camacho for Nat Sherman!)

Nice review Ron.
Haven't had a cadela in a long time. They never really did much for me. This one does sound interesting though.
I think zilla likes them because they're green. :smokingbo

Cool review and nice to see you take one for the team.

If you really want to experience the whole candela experience, cut an inch or so of the wrapper off the foot and smoke your way into the wrapper.
