    A very surreal breakfast cigar

    Well I was thinking of taking my regular breakfast cigar this morning, the Hoyo De Monterrey Petit Robusto, however a more attractive option made itself known to me.



    A Don Candido 508.

    I have been dying to smoke a Don Candido for a long time and today seemed as good a day as any.

    The first third/half had extremely subtle flavours- didn't really peak my interest and I was wondering what all the fuss was about; the last four inches of this 6.9 inch cigar burst into a wonderful fanfare of powerful flavours of pepper, leather and liquorice. The last part of this 1960s cigar was almost if not as flavourful as a partagas! At 6.9" by 28 ring guage this feast burnt for over an hour and a half providing me plenty of time to enjoy this rarity!





    For those of you who don't know: Don Candido was a brand made in Cuba specifically for Dunhill from before the 60s up until the 80s.

        Lucky chap. Sounds like a remarkable cigar. Attractive size too - not enough slimmer RG sticks around these days...

        Nice pics and review.

                He's a Manicurist?

                    I bought a single recently as well (1958). Over thirty pounds, I think. Haven't smoked it yet... I was going to save it for a special occasion but if Jimmeh is having them for breakfast I might have to reconsider!

                      The source Jimmeh and I used asked to remain anonymous but I got to breakfast late so mine is resting in the humi, I smoked the Trinidad short robustos T, meh, whatever. The 506 for Jimmeh and I next.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!"

                        This gets so confusing whenever TJ's name comes up.
                        Manicurist??? I thought he was a Mexican!!!

                        Nice review by the way. Am fortunate enough to have been gifted one of these which is currently languishing in the depths of a humi waiting for the right moment.

                          I wonder if these are all from the same source

                            Interesting.

                            Stephan and Lionhound- which Vitoli do you have? Both 508?

                              The Don Candido is probably the holy grail brand for aged Cubans. I know of singles that go for well over ?100 per stick!

                              Now we are talking the No500 is ment to be mind-blowing ...especially form a cabinet of 100
