Founders Cigar Company
Hamilton Candela
The green wrapper cigar, fresh and herbal, something different for the curious smoker who does not want to get steamrolled.
$9.00
The Hamilton Candela is the green wrapper cigar, named after Alexander Hamilton and his tie to the early American greenback. The Ecuadorian Candela wrapper keeps it fresh and herbal, with grass, cream, nuts, light earth, and a subtle pepper as it develops. It is not dark or aggressive, just clean and a little off the beaten path. A solid pick for a curious smoker who wants something different without getting steamrolled.

Tasting notes
The Ecuadorian Candela wrapper gives this cigar its green color and a fresh, herbal, grassy character. Underneath sit cream, light nuts, gentle earth, and a subtle pepper that builds as it develops. It is neither dark nor aggressive, just clean and a little off the beaten path. A rare candela offering in a veteran owned line and a solid pick for a curious smoker.
