so, someone sent me Acid candela cigarillos. I loved the flavor but they don't last long at all. Up in smoke, literally. I was just curious why candela hasn't been used in pipe tobacco? Does anyone know where I might acquire some candela, might give it a try adding it to some burley or something similar. I would love to be able to smoke candela in a pipe.

Should probably add that those Acid cigars are highly flavored and it may not have been the wrapper you were tasting. It's worth a shot though!  |

Candela has a very very mild flavor.

Candela wrapped cigars have always given me a headache and don’t care for the after taste.

Candela was very popular for cigars 50+ years ago. I've seen recent cigar releases using it. I never cared for the leaf but I guess it still has some fans.

Yeah, Candela wrappers have slowly faded from the market. Mostly because they are very light and instill a grassy flavor into a cigar that cant match the flavor qualities of cured or fermented leaf. I am curious as to how it would work in a pipe blend though..

Given its lightness, it may prove to be A Candela in the Wind.

Green, as in Columbo's green cigars? I always wondered what that wrapper was. |

They basically flue cure the tobacco to "flash dry" while still green rather than color cure them to yellow and then brown. It locks in the chlorophyll and has a mild grassy flavor to it. If done properly with the right variety, it can have mild floral and herbal notes too. |
