Candela Leaf is an incredibly rare tobacco leaf, known primarily for its looks! The green color of this leaf is obtained by quickly harvesting, and speed-drying the crop at a high temperature.
The verdant green hue of this tobacco is most commonly associated with its mild, leafy, almost floral taste and sweet, grassy aroma. This wrapper is truly unique in all aspects.
This high temperature, high speed drying process causes the chlorophyll to be trapped in the leaf, giving it the jade color which it is known for. Commonly used on pre-embargo cigars, this leaf is now only commonly found on mass produced machine-made cigars, and some few select high end boutique cigars.
"Now that the dust is settling I wanted to take the time and thank you for your generous donation to my brother-in-law Gary Thompsons Memorial golf tournament held June 22nd. It's local businesses such as yourself that truly help bring this tournament together. This was the 6th annual Memorial Tournament for Gary and we are now doing a scholarship in his name at Middletown High School. On behalf of the Thompson, Shukis family we thank you very much. I'm glad I found your place this past winter when I saw a little sign on Washington Street. Your staff have always been very helpful I should let you know, especially Calvin who has taken the time and gone out of his way to help me out whenever I'm at the store as I am definitely not a cigar connoisseur by any means. Look forward to seeing you again in person and thanking you personally. Take care. "
