  Aladino Candela

  The Aladino Candela was crafted as an homage to Julio Eiroa (co-founder and co-owner of the JRE Tobacco Co). Julio was once considered the largest producer of the candela wrapper (aka double claro). It is combined with Eiroa’s own Corojo tobacco to produce a delectable smoking experience. The candela wrapper has a distinctive green hue. It gets its green color thanks to a flue-curing method, which exposes the leaves to high heat temperatures at a shorter time than the typical tobacco curing process. It also helps to lock-in the tobacco’s natural sweetness. At one time, candela was one of the most popular wrappers  in the United States. If you’ve never smoked a cigar with a candela wrapper, this is your chance to try one made from one of the best cigar crafters in the industry.

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see. The Candela (aka Double Claro) wrapper is known for its green color and its mild flavor. To produce a Candela wrapper, the tobacco leaves are harvested and dried quickly before the plant has fully matured. This process locks in the plants natural chlorophyll content and gives the Candela wrapper its green color.
• Cigar Binder
  Corojo

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Corojo tobacco was first developed in Cuba in the 1930s and quickly became popular as the wrapper on some of the best cigars. By the end of the 90s, Cuba stopped growing Corojo because of its susceptibility to pests and diseases. Ironically, Corojo has since become more popular outside of Cuba, as it has been replicated in tobacco farms in Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
• Cigar Filler
  Corojo

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
