Torres Candela Churchill Cigar Review

[kaelaria]

This 7×48 stick offers a pale green wrapper that is extremely thin and fragile. This particular sample (unfortunately the only one supplied) does have a couple tears, but the binder may hold alright. It has a soft dry feel, minimal veins, stretch marks, good seams and a soft peppery tobacco aroma. First light reveals the wrapper tear to not be a problem and it’s putting off a great amount of thick super sweet smoke. The draw is nothing but sugary goodness, and a light tobacco settles in on the finish with a bit of a tingle. Draw is perfect, just a light resistance. The first third pulls medium-full flavors of a super sweet peppery leather, with a long but downplayed finish of mostly the pepper and sweetness. The burn is very slow, ending the first third at 30 min with flavors of a woody tobacco and pepper with a bit of the sweetness. 50 min in just past the 1/2 way point, flavors transition to a big blast of caramel and oily tobacco while the smoke output increases even more. Ending at 1:30 the last third bring a full body taste of a rich oily caramel coffee and a super long finish with tons of smoke.

Great review a usual, Bryan!

Candelas wrappers are on fire as of late... Illusione, Viaje, Camacho, Fuente. They are great for a summer change of pace smoke.

Thanks for another great review !

Is the candy-like sweetness that Bryan described in his review indicative of what all candelas are like?

Typically not. Candela wrappers tend to be full bodied and slightly spicy. We've specially blended this cigar to be sweet at the beginning and end with just a little spice.

Thanks Alex! I love how oily your wrapper looks! I'll have to get my hands on
a few of these in the near future! Are they only carried by your shop at the moment?

Nice review. The wrapper looks really fragile.
