Great interview with Dion Giolito, telling all about his cigars and the philosophy behind the brand.

Having smoked a couple of these already this weekend, I rate this right up there with a Tatuaje. While the Ashton VSG is currently my SOC, these and Tats are gaining a foothold in humi space.

I picked mine up here:

Dan is a wonderful guy to deal with and their packaging for shipping is the best I have experienced.

I would recommend Tower Cigars in Cali. Mark will take care of you for the Illusions.

I just found them have you bought from them? They do seem to have good prices.

Bought cabs of the Cabaiguan Guapos from Tower. Also bought several singles and Mark gifted me the Illusions to try. First one was a robusto (88?). It was just ok but I certainly can not judge a brand by a single stick.

The 88 I had was pretty good and i had just bought it that day. So with a little age on them they shoule be very good.

Mark @ Tower is the way to go IMO, top notch service and a helluva guy to boot.

There are a few other places to order the Illusiones, but I can't find a link to them just yet.

Indeed Mark is a good guy. He and his dad run the place. Mark is a dedicated family man and that makes him special too.

I bought some of these from my local B&M and have smoked one and really liked it. I have one (maybe two) still sitting in my humi waiting to be smoked...
