I realized I have smoked something like this before. Acid Kuba Kuba, though it is infused has base tobacco which tastes like this.

Others have described the Candela wrapper is grassy, Virginia like. While I would not describe this the same way, the flavor is milder with a subtle complex sweetness. Although it still tastes like a cigar, it has a few mild nuances. Overall fairly tasty and I will be smoking these often.

I've never had green leaf wrapper cigars, how do they taste compared to the darker wrappers? Nice stash by the waybdw

I just got some Figgy Pudding and Rivendell that I ordered from:



Never tried either and am excited to give them a go.

Recent TAD;
5 x 1.5oz Sutliff Cringle Flake
1 x 100g Drucquer &. Sons Levant Mixture
1 x 2oz Newminster #84 Oriental Pipe Cut
1 x 2oz Lane 1-Q
1 x 4oz LJ Peretti Thanksgiving Day
1 x 1oz. LJ Peretti 150th Anniversary Flake
1 x 2oz GLP Gaslight
1 x 2oz Watch City Simply Red
1 x 2oz Watch City Rhythm & Blues

All are new to my 400+ (dare I call it) collection. I have not touched 1-Q in probably 30+ years but, since I have been revisiting (and frankly, enjoying) old OTC’s, why not have some old standards around. I probably will add some BCA to my next order as well :)

I, also, took delivery of a 5 pack of Nat Sherman cigars that, I won from JR Cigars ‘Beat the Dealer’ (this is the second time that I have scored!).

I was shorted on the 150th but, the good folk at LJP quickly made good.

That's quite a haul. Ordered 1/2 pound each of Sutliff Victorian and C&D Orion's Arrow today.
I've gotten out of the limited tin game. Places like C&D, Sutliff, LPJ and WCC are putting out great blends in bulk at reasonable prices. I set a limit of 5 bucks an oz (broke that one with Thanksgiving Day) and most listed above are below that. Plus they are available. Don't get me wrong, I have quite a collection of tins, but I have to really want it.
