Illusione with most pepper/spice ?

[CSMoFo]

I have really enjoyed the Illusiones that I have smoked. I am now in search of the one that gives the most pepper and spice.

What's your recommendation(s) ?

 

[TheCigarKid]

I'd have to say the CG:4 or the Mk.

 

[vivalanation734]

2 or CG:4

 

[CAJoe]

The MJ12 is a good one to try...

 

[njstone]

For me, the MJ12, but any of the original document sticks are far more spicy when very fresh. I have some 68s from November and they're quite a bit spicier than the older ones I've had.

 

[Alwayslit]

Fresh 68's have a kick.

 

[mikesstogies]

Try the CG 4 should be exactly what your looking for b

 

[Cattani]

The cg:4 gets my vote

 

[Thegreekone]

~cg:4~ :yes:

 

[Fury556]

It sure isn't the Epernay. That's the only one I have tried so far and it was fairly bland. The aroma was quite nice but not much flavor at all. I have another that I guess I will let rest a bit longer, hopefully it improves a bit.

I'll have to go with the 68.

They're great little pepper sticks.

I'm gonna have to say the 2, 68, & the mk... I get more earthy notes than anything with the cg:4.

They're all freakin outstanding though, so...

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

~mk~, ECCJ and ~mj12~ do it for me.

 

[Mast3r_Shake]

My draw to illusione was that I found them not to have much pepper and spice. I usually turn to Pepin for my pepper sticks. Any reason you want an illusione with more pepper and spice? Just curious.

mk and mj12

A few years ago thanks to recommendations made by the Brothers here I ordered my first Illusione sticks and they happened to be a special one off
MKULTRAS.

It was a great blend ... very unique and it had pepper and spice to boot !
I'm not look for a pepper/spice per se as Pinar del Rio Sun Grown really float my boat in that arena. What I'm looking for is the Illusione blend that just happens to have the most pepper/spice in that particular line.

Illusione will actually be releasing the MKUltras again sometime this year. I'm not sure if it's going to be a semi-regular line (like the ~hl~ Maduros and Candelas) or another one-time only batch, but they will be purchasable again.

As for me, fresh ~888s~ and fresh ~MJ12s~ have the most common type of spice notes (cinnamon, black pepper), whereas the ~cg:4~ and ~mks~ have a more ginger type of tang....

I had a fresh 68 yesterday on the ride home from work. It was super spicy and delicious.

 

[e-man67]

I don't think they are spicy at all. They are more sweet and clean tasting. The maduro might have a little...

68 hands down. I asked on twitter if dion could make that blend bigger and his reply was "there's a reason its so small." Damn jealous of someone who had a MKUltra. Glad they are coming back.
