Has anyone heard anything about these lately?

Last I heard, the candela was going to be out in a month with the maduro following a month later... that was 2 months ago, haha

Figured I'd ask around here before I bugged my local tobacconist

From my last conversation with the guys at Illusione I am under the impression that they are hoping the candelas are on a container hitting Miami later this week which means they would be out in 2 weeks. If they aren't then it won't be until next month. I should be able to find out later this week.

It's raining in Nicaragua is the reason the Candelas didn't arrive on the container last month. At least that was what the guys at Illusione were told. Should be on this month's container. Paul Palmer of Tropical will be at the shop today so I can ask him about it.

Thanks, I appreciate the update.

Dion told me that these are not specifically a limited product (i.e. he is not limiting) the problem is getting the Candela wrapper...there is just not enough of it to make that many of them...

They ARE being released in boxes, I know of a few stores that received a box or two (but they are holding onto them)...
