What you guys have lined up?
I wanted to try the new Quesada keg but that hasn't panned out yet.
I'll probably have a Candela cigar......illusion probably.
I bought Candela Illusion HL couple months ago in anticipation for St. Patty's Day. I smoked it last week or so and didn't really care for it. It wasn't bad, but not something I would buy continuously. Kinda sucks since it looks so good.

Going with a Filthy Hooligan again...
It's not the best cigar, but I plan on being three sheets to the wind, so I won't mind!

Candela's are really an acquired taste and smoking a long one can be quite a challenge due to the limited flavor shifts. However, I do like the grassy/hay flavors the candela wrapper can add to a barber pole, with the two below being my favorites. I will most likely smoke one of these two on the 17th.

I will second the Asylum here. It was surprisingly good. I may pick up a few more for St. Patricks day.

I'm not sure I can get through a Candela. I might have to break out a Filthy Hooligan myself.

I've got some AF candela's in the lonsdale size.
Not bad. Sometimes I just get the hankerin for that grassy, hay essence that reminds me of being on the farm.
Plus it goes well with beer.

It's basically a regular week day IMO. And I plan on doing all of the following.

For me St. Paddys Day is all about the beer. I will be hoisting quite a few Guinness beers and I like to pair that with a couple Padron 64 Exclusivos. This is my perfect match up for this holiday !!! Cheers

Candela wrapper,this is one I can't bring myself to smoke,even on this day.Have smoked some in the past,can't recall even hearing them referred to,back then, as candela,always as Claro Claro,or in the the American English labeling Double Claro.It'll be Corned Beef & cabbage, with Guiness,the cigars Tatuaje and Paul Stulac, and if it's a three cigar day most likely a My Father.

I may have a CAO Flathead Sparkplug after dinner. At least the band is green.
