Let's Talk Illusione....

[vivalanation734]

So guys, I think it is fair to say that we all generally like the Illusione Original Documents line, yes? (88, CG:4, 68, 888, etc...). The problem is I don't think they get enough love because the line isn't constantly being updated and there aren't a ton of limited releases to hunt down.

I'm sitting here enjoying an ~88~ and man am I impressed. Sweet spice, rich oaky vanilla, black cherry and so much more. I paired it with some Rwandan coffee from thejavaman that has some great dark fruit notes that really compliment the blend.

This line deserves some more love. Smoke an Illusione today, for your palate's sake.

Cg4 is always a favorite of mine especially if I can find the '07s.

 

[bballbaby]

i'm a big fan of the candelas

 

[Vitty]

Was looking at getting some Epernay. What's the consensus on the Le Petit's?

 

[Vicster]

Illusione MJ-12 Maduro, outstanding cigar...

 

[gibbleguts]

Always smoke a lot of mk's. Will be a sad day when I run out of 07's. While they may not get a lot of love here where a lot of it is all hype driven I have at least a few friends who consider it there go to brand and when down to only 2 or 3 sizes left in their stock they start to panic.

Love the Cg4's... keep plenty on hand... prob my next box purch.

Im still looking for a BM around with any illusiones so I can try a couple different ones to see what I like

 

[kafreeman]

I love them all. The only marca I have smoked almost every vitola that is produced.

I've never had an Illusione that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. I'm glad you enjoyed the java too, Ryan - that sounds like a great pairing!

I don't disagree, but I had to chuckle.....there is not infrequent bitching about continual new releases and LE's in other brands.

If Dion did nothing but put out consistent CG4's from now until my final cigar, I'd be happy. That is just about the closest thing to a perfect cigar for me.

Whats a good one to introduce myself to the line?

new havana.... they have samplers (or used to... haven't been on there in a bit)
Pick up a sampler, then go from there.


I really like the MK, It's a great size and smokes awesome for me. I have not had one in a while, but I know that when I grab one in the cooler it will be as good as the last.
I honestly was not big on the candelas, they were interesting, but just seemed to not be all there for me.

I'll suggest picking up a few sizes you enjoy, it's a good place to start. After that you can try the others, and other lines.

I like the hl (holy lance), the epernay la petite is very good too.

[Herfin' Harg]

My local sells more illusiones than any other marca, if you can believe that. Hooray for good taste!
