![]() ![]() Overall I’d say the notes are a cigar that’s quite sweet, with hints of green tea. With time ticking and needs must, we wanted to get this review out to you guys ASAP, as March 17th is only a few short days away… I would also like to highlight again (as we did in the Nicaraguan Barrel Aged review), the finer attention to details always get a thumbs up, like these custom Camacho hinges on the box.Īs we only got this box yesterday, the tasting review may be a little lighter than usual, as we typically like to get in 4-6 smokes to give our truest interpretations. The inside of the lid also presents some additional information on the cigars inside (something I wish more brands would do and I’d even encourage Camacho to push this further!). The shamrock is ever present in the box and on the cigar band itself, really driving home the intended St Patrick’s day connection. Inside the box, one is presented with the continuity of high contrast green and black. This will be hard to miss in any cigar shop or in your humidor. That being a well made box, with a high gloss finish in lime green and black. Once, you get past that / appreciate it, you’re onto what one usually expects from a Camacho box. For this alone I think it should be worth the price of entry. Price:Īs a limited edition release of only 3,000 boxes, this one may be hard to get! Even if you’re not excited about the St Paddy’s green connection or not, it’s sure to be an attention grabber with the candela wrapper.Īt only $8 to give it a try, why not see what your forefathers (especially Americans) used to smoke (visually at least). So if you like that, and maybe something a little sweeter I’m guessing you’ll also like this. Country of Origin: Honduras (Diadema Cigars de Honduras, S.A.)Īs stated in the Camacho marketing materials, this cigar is built on the Original Corojo chassis (aka filler and binder).Size: Robusto 5″ X 50 (only size available).This release is certainly living up to the brands motto! Cigar Details: From the bright lime green box lid, to it’s multiple shamrock emblems and not least the green double claro wrapper itself. This locks in the chlorophyll, thus giving the cigar its distinctive and in our day and age, bold color.Īs you’d expect from Camacho, this cigar and its presentation “ Live Loud“. In the case of this Camacho Candela they “flash cure” the Criollo leaf over a charcoal fire. The color of the leaf is achieved via no fermentation. This color wrapper is referred to as a “ Candela” or “ Double Claro“. However, this green hue was America’s most popular wrapper color with an over 50% market share for much of the late 1950’s until the beginning of the 1970’s. It’s not often one goes into a cigar shop and sees anything aside from an array of light to dark brown sticks. The green wrapper is “new” to many younger cigar smokers like myself. However, is this just a “Hulkish” shamrock laden gimmick, or is this cigar a worthwhile homage to stepping back in time to a past era of American cigar smoking? That’s what we’re here to find out… Green Wrapper – A Brief Candela History Lesson This one being from an original 2007 initial iteration. Just as with the Camacho Diploma, the Candela is a re-release. The “green wrapper” sticks production run was set to just 3,000 boxes (75,000 cigars), so it may be hard to find… If you don’t act quick!
