I just seen the new cigar from Illusione Called the Anunnaki, I don't know what others think and it is ok. I will admit I am a Theorist when it comes to things of the past. There is just to many Questions that don't have answers. Without going to deep into thoughts or theories i can't wait to get my hand on one of these. Heck might have to buy a box to let them age and smoke one to start out.

Myth of Anunnaki is that they were the Gods and Goddesses of the Ancient race called the Sumerian.

I will be watching for these to hit the Humidors in my area (LOL there is no good B&M here) or the couple online Retailers I use I can't wait maybe I will get lucky and get some for Christmas from my wife. She likes to share in my Cigar and Tobacco hobby.

The gigante is decent but their other work is far better. Worth digging into :)

It's all been downhill since 2010, no denying that. Dion doesn't even have a factory. These are made by Aganorsa. I wouldn't pay for them with their brand name. Slapping "Illusione" on them won't change that. The good stuff he shipped was made by Raíces Cubanas.

Illusione is the ONLY brand that I can honestly say I enjoy their entire catalogue...even their Candela. I will disagree that it's been downhill since 2010. I still have liked every cigar Dion has put out.

Let me correct myself. One cigar that Dion has been involved with that I didn't really care for was the Nosotros. But that's it.

I thought Raíces Cubanas and AGANORSA are both entities controlled by Casa Fernandez/Tabacalera Tropical. I don't believe you need to own a factory/farms to make great cigars; Pete Johnson is doing well, among others.

Nosotros is my least favorite as well, and age has not improved this sticks as I had hoped.

Regardless of where they're being made, it always used Aganorsa tobacco

I believe Raíces Cubanas is owned by the Endemano family. They do however produce a lot of cigars with Aganorsa tobacco.

MKultra are just sexy, regardless of the year. the roths are fun and approachable (and habit forming!). the eperney line is just pretty. while nothing is what it was "back in the day", i feel there is a lot to like still from his offerings.

also, james, we are still on the middle of a trade...
