I had just smoked this, a suggestion from TheRibDoctor (Jeremy) on here, and loved it. I'm not too much into Robusto, but WOW! It was an hour and 15 minute smoke and had a great taste and a wonderful burn.

Anyone know other Illusione's that are good, can you suggest any...I'M ADDICTED to this cigar.

JER! Great recommendation! A+ to you!

Yeah, I love 'em all. Especially the MJ12, Holy Lance, mk, eccj .... You might want to start with the other sizes of epernay since you liked the robusto, especially La Elegance, the 5 3/4 x 40 vitola.

Agreed with all of the above. The CG:4's one of my favorite sticks. The Cuchillos Cubanos are remarkably good as well for a budget line (the coronas run at ~$4.00/stick) made up of medium and long fillers. If you've got the time, try Dion's presidente: the Illusione ~1~, a 9 1/4" monster that's got loads of flavor. And while you're at it, try a Cruzado, too. . . .

I've enjoyed every Illusione I've smoked. Though I have yet to match my very first experience, which was an 88. Those are great, and the 68 is one of the best pcs in the business. CG:4 and f9 are great too, and the 4/2g I had was also good.

Heck, they're all great, lol.

Corona has an excellent selection of their line. I've been using a Excel spreadsheet, for all the suggestions from you guys and what i'm smoking. It's starting to become more fun than it is to learn. But i am learning.

Thanks again guys!

Nice review, illusione's are one of the few cigars I have trouble finding but I'm with you on how good they are.

That's right you did! They guy at Corona helped find the cigars and that's the one he recommended. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though.

Definitely love all of the Illusione I have tried. My favorite sizes are the MJ12, cg:4 and 68 (great short smoke). I have also had the 88, 888 and 4/2g, and loved them as well.

You smoked one of my new favorites! Next box purchase is definitely going there! I also LOVE the MJ12...it is my preferred golf smoke...because that is the only time I have 2-2.5 hours to smoke a cigar:) Glad you enjoy them and keep on trying them out!

Probably my favorite boutique cigar ever. Just finished a cg:4, and it was great! My B&M has just about every size, both blends... I usually grab the 68s by the box so if anyone ever wants to split just shoot me a PM.
