Illusione 68

[Jfire]

Well I want to try some reviews so here it goes.
Time:6pm
Drink:capmorgan Pri reserve on ice
Place:B&M
Prelight aroma very light and sweet.
No noticable blemishes to be found anywhere. Prelight draw very firm,not to much but just the way I like it. Perfect cut with my Palio. Prelight draw after cut more sweetness with a hint more spice as well. Lit the small guy up and away I go.
First inch some spice up front but not to much in the way of flavors. Burn so far so good. After the first inch spicyness is almost gone and this thing just turned into chocolate and honey goodness. I smoke the 88s now and then and I think although smaller this 1 may replace it depending on how she finishes.
Now onto the second half the spice is still gone but the sweetness is now coming and going and turning to almost a very light nuttiness. Burn is still good no relights just a small waver on line(but who the hell cares).
Burning now into the last 3rd more spice coming back going into a peppery sucker towards the last inch or so. Nuttiness and sweetness all but gone. Im starting to wonder how much more I can smoke it and wonder who the hell told me about this at the B&M and wondering why they didnt tell me sooner.
Yep ill be buying a box in the future Ive had 2 now in the last 2 days and that is all I need to know. 8/10 on the J scale.
And my 1st review is done sorry if I butchered it!

That was a great review man! I love the Illusiones. I like the cg4 a lot. I also noticed while petite the f9 was a high caliber stick. I think I may have to go out & get a few of these to see if it's as good as you made it sound.

Great review, I've not had the best of luck with Illusione's, but this review may get me to looking for some. Well done.

Good review... got some 15+ month old 888s left that are smoking unreal right now. Love these in every size but the -2-.

I just smoked my first 68 the other night. I had been drinking a bit, but was not hammered. this Cigar was great, but it hammered me. I knew Dion made full strength smokes, but for a little cigar it packed a punch.

I have smoked several of these now. I still have mixed feelings about them. The holy lance was good, but the two 68's I have smoked didn't do much for me. I will have to try a couple more I guess before deciding weather I really want them in rotation.

Haven't tried an illusion yet but this was a great review, so I think I'll give it a try next week. I have one of the pc size I think.

Nice review. I've had the 88, cg:4, and f9. I hope I get a chance to try this size out also.

Yea, I like them little suckers. I purchased a box at Christmas and I have about 5 left. I see another in my future. Great little ass kickers for the Northern winter smoker.
