Grass is an unusual cigar tasting note to be sure. However, in the right blend, a touch of grassy earthiness can bring balance to a flavor profile. Grass notes are most often prevalent in very light-colored cigars called Claros (usually wrapped in Connecticut Shade tobacco) and in unique cigars called candelas, which have a striking green color. Candela wrappers are not aged like other tobaccos.
Candela cigars are typically associated with hints of grass and green tea — along with some herbs and cream.
Regardless of the cigar, grass is usually a more subtle flavor if it is present at all.
Check out a selection of our favorite cigars with grassy tasting notes below.
