shy of 4 hours. I'm surprised by my abilities sometimes.

She did not go out once. I did well, she did even better.

Wow, 4 hours on that stick, that's impressive. I thought it was crazy when the T-52 I smoked (toro size) lasted 3 1/2 hours.

Not bad. I have seen those go for nine bucks a stick which means it only cost you $2.25 per hour to smoke that's really reasonable. Did it ever get full bodied? I have read that it is somewhat lighter in body than the regular Illusione line and that's why I ask. Even though I prefer 6x60 size smokes I may have to give this one a try.

I actually paid $2.00 for it. Good to know folks. Never got full bodied; pretty mellow and relaxing; actually really relaxing.

I've only smokes 2 Eperany sticks, but both lasted longer than expected--nowhere near this, though. Great cigars.

The Epernay le ferme is a nice stick also. It is lighter than the reg line. Compare the Epernay to the eccj...imho

I don't find any of Dion stuff to be over powering; he has nothing to prove; he just want's a enjoyable smoke. Now on the other hand Sam Leccia; with his tiny nubs LOL an now his cain (crap) cigar; proving something. size matters now? =X.

hahahaha! I'm wondering if he'll cross ways and make a cain nub.

I remember a key phrase I believe dion made(regarding the cruzado). "medium body, full flavored" I think it describes most of his stuff well.

I agree with that statement 100%....I have always found his blends to be very flavorful but not over powering to me.

Awesome time.

I tend to smoke a cigar a longer time than what most expect the smoke time to be - with respect to size. I guess I'm just a really slow guy haha.
