Hey Guys,

Has anyone seen these Filthy Hooligans that Alec Bradley came out with? They were released today as a limited release 2000 Boxes.

examiner.com/article/alec-bradley-filthy-hooligan-candela-release

I am kind of hyped about these just because I love Black Market's and add the cool factor of them... I am in. I just stopped by my cigar shop and he didn't have them yet and said it could be a week or so. Am I over hyping these in my head?

Thanks,

I haven't seen them pop up anywhere yet either. I like the black market as well, so I'm looking forward to these too.

It's a small run for St Patty's day of the Black Market with a Candela wrapper. Candela is usually a love/hate type of wrapper, and I see more people hate it than love it unless the blend is full bodied to "cover up" the grassy taste from the wrapper(ie. Illusione Candela). If you are a Black Market fan then it should be something you are looking forward to it, but maybe try one before you splurge on a box.

A few online vendors have them in stock so you can find them if you're looking. I might get one eventually just to try it out, but there are so many other cigars that are coming out soon that I'm holding out for so not really planning on buying these unless they start to get really good reviews from other members here.

We got our boxes last Friday so I lit one up and will say I was pleasantly surprised. The sweetness from the fillers in the Black Market blend are still there with the grassy sweetness from the candela. It is a delicious combo that I was quite happy with.

Someone is sending me one, looks like it gets delivered tomorrow. Probably hang on to it until st pattys day though, and continue my tradition of a candela on that day.

I was planning on smoking a candela for the first time this St. Pattys too. I may grab a fiver of these so I can share them with a couple buddies and hang onto the single of Illusione and Viaje I have.

Glad to hear that my hype is not completely crazy. I found one place online that had boxes only. I'd probably be up for grabbing 4-5 for me and some friends. Is there a place online that sells individuals I could grab? I'm worried about the 2000 box release that I'll never see them at the local store.

We only have a couple of boxes left but can do fivers of them. If you guys can't find them locally give us a call and we can ship out fivers for you. We didn't put them on the website so you would have to call to order.

As others have pointed out, I've seen them pop-up several places so far, but I have little interest in them. Candela doesn't do much for me even at its best - Illusione and LFD, IMO - and since I'm not a huge AB fan, I think this is one release I'll be skipping.

I'm not gonna chase after them, but I will def snag a few if I stumble across them. I actually enjoy the Illusione and Viaje candelas so this blend doesn;t' turn me off whatsoever.

I gotta say I love candelas, especially the 8-5-8 Claro Claro from Fuente. CA also just did a video on the "candela comeback":

But they are undoubtedly not for everyone...
Never seen the 8-5-8 Claro Claro.

I've only had the Viaje WLP candela and couldn't finish it. The bouquet was making me nauseous. Gonna try an HL candela this year that's been sitting in my humidor
