    St. Patricks Day Cigar?

    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!
    To smoke is human; to smoke cigars, divine.

    ^^^This. Even the part about having a few resting since last year.
    I've seen pigs in boxes and I've seen pigs raised for slaughter.

    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.

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