Illusione Candelas!

[AlohaStyle]

They're here...

So tell me... what flavor does the candela wrapper bring? I smoked one years ago and can't remember.

 

[Vegan702]

Smoke one and tell us.

I wish, that pic was from Dion on his Twitter page...

Saw that photo on Dion's twitter a little while ago. He said they would be trickling out starting monday!

 

[WMGF]

Very nice, I'll have to try these.

 

[TravelingJ]

I need on a waiting list for those!

i've smoked the AF and the Don thomas candela. the wrapper always brings a grassy flavor to the cigar. so if you love the smell of fresh cut grass then candela wrappers are up your ally.

 

[shuckins]

there not in there yet zilla,but i'll get you a box soon!

 

[MU Mike]

Candelas suck, IMHO.

That said, it's cool of Dion to try out some different wrappers. I'm looking forward to trying the maduro HL's.

 

[tmoney2007]

I'd try one if my shop was getting any... But I'm in for a box of maduros sight unseen.

 

[Benzopyrene]

Are these going to be regular release, or limited quantities only?

I gotta agree with Daniel, they have a "fresh grassy" flavor to them and if it's a good cigar it is quite enjoyable in my opinion.

These and the maduro are limited. There is a little bit arriving next week or the following week to a few select retailers. I would guess that Dion's shop, Fumare, will have them.

 

[tmoney2007]

Was there any word on the maduros? There is a certain tobacconist I need to bug about it if they are shipping too.

 

[smokinghole]

Candelas are certainly an acquired taste. Very few are made these days but if I do remember some cigar history they used to be all the rage.

 

[Alwayslit]

these should be good

 

[joshua]

I would like to try these. Could you snap a picture of the foot? I want to see what the filler looks like with the wrapper.

Whenever I think of candelas, I can only think of the old Garcia & Vega sticks in the plastic tubes that my dad used to smoke. Very 'funky'.

"Now Garcia and Vega is still an honest cigar". Remember that? I was a kid but still don't know what the heck that means.

I want a few off these for sure. I keep about 10 candelas at aytime. They make a cool change up smoke, and coupled with Dion and Illusione, this will be a good cigar. Need me a few maduros as well. So keep me in mind for box splits. or if you want to sell afew.
