I've had most of the candelas out there and given the fact that I smoked them in the 60's it was the machine made A/C Grenadiers that are better than what is currently out in the market. JMHO

Had an LFD double claro a few years ago, that was really good. Made me want to get into candelas but then I never actually got more. Can't remember why.

This is my first Candela so I have no idea what to expect. I'm interested in it since it's different, but really this is just going along with the obligatory "green things" on St. Paddy's day BS lol

You know what, I hate to say this but I think the Filthy Hooligan had a lot to do with me not following through. I've never seen a single positive word about it and it got me thinking maybe I just liked that stick rather than the wrapper.

Makes sense. I like the black market a lot, so I think the wrapper for that is just a gimmick and people are sometimes against that. But, it seems like the other candela wrapped cigars are just different you know?

Going to be trying a Filthy Hooligan tonight as soon as the wife and kid go to bed. My first one, but I guess I have to do it for St Patrick (and maybe some Jameson and McSorley's black lager). I hope I stay away from the Devil Site

Yup, hooligan for me. This batch has been in my humi since last year, hopefully they've improved but if not I've taken out a My Father as back up.

Take the wrapper off the hooligan, wrap it around the MF, then smoke it. Do it, you won't.

I had an illusione 88 candela today, it had about a year on it and it tasted better than the one I had last year but it's still not my cup of tea.

HAHA, I agree with this. I had my first hooligan on Saturday and thought that it sucked badonkey balls. Just my opinion though.

Bah ha! Well, a year turned those into a smokable stick, not great but not sweaty goat ass like ROTT.

I had the Filthy Hooligan last night. Didn't think I'd like it but I did. It did want to keep splitting on me so I had to tape the band on and slide it up as it burned but other than that it was pretty good.

rsherman24

I wasn't thrilled with it, but I didn't really dislike it. Have a couple left from a fiver I am going to put to bed till next year.

The green of the Candela wrapper is a little disorienting though, just doesn't look right.

L.F.D. makes a really good one that is a better smoke then the hooligan. Just my opinion .
