Illusione HL Candela - 2020 (FYARW)

[sho671]

I went with a candela this morning as an homage to St. Paddy's Day. I was aiming to smoke the entire thing without ashing, but a rogue breeze blew the ash off early and the cigar needed a couple relights in the second and last third which meant I purposely had to ash the cigar. The longest I got the ash was about what's in the second picture. Draw was good and when lit, smoke production was great. The cigar was giving me notes of sweet grass with a little pepper on the retro throughout. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of candela, but I also wouldn't say I'm not a fan. It's.a cigar that I'd prefer to smoke infrequently, but I would still smoke it.
