I keep trying ever once in a while, mainly because I get a free one or it comes in a sampler… but I just can’t do a candela wrapper, always tastes like I’m smoking wet grass.
Took me a while to figure out if it was the bourbon or the cigar than lit the tip of my tongue on fire. Lots of hidden spice notes n this smoke, flavor was great but quietly numbed the tip on my tongue. Overall a great strong smoke.
Great smoke but horrible burn. I’ll take the blame for that this time as I’m thinking it was right up against the bodeva pack in the humidor… Got it to even out and smoked it extra slow and that helped keep the burn a little more even. If it wasn’t for that it would have gotten 4.5-5 stars. Next one I’ll dry box just to be safe.
