Candela is made with wrapper-grade leaf and variety. The process is similar to flue-curing, except the initial temp must be above 105ºF, so that the leaf dies while still green. Good candela wrapper is thin, with small veins.

I spent a lot of years in the lab. The olfactory sense is amazing. For many things you can smell (detect a few parts/million) it way before you get to harmful levels Ammonia is one of those things. If you smell it and ventilate the levels will be way below toxic. Just consider how strong the smell is when you open a bottle of household ammonia. I used to use a gentle sniff to clear up a stuffy nose when I had a cold.
Bottom line -- Don't worry about ammonia. It will annoy you and you will clear it out long before it gets toxic.
