Candelas are the mildest of the mild. They are flue cured in barns and the tobacco experiences a case of "arrested development" as a result. I have a few on hand just for the sake of it. I've only smoked a few, but absolutely hated them. I've had the Iguana and Don Tomas candelas. Of the two, the Tomas was the better one. I can't speak as an authoritative source regarding the Fuente version, though it would be interesting to hear a review on them. My advice?, buy an EMS or natural instead!.
