More About Illusiones

[blessednxs65]

Great interview with Dion Giolito, telling all about his cigars and the philosophy behind the brand.

Having smoked a couple of these already this weekend, I rate this right up there with a Tatuaje. While the Ashton VSG is currently my SOC, these and Tats are gaining a foothold in humi space.

I had my 1st Illusione last night but it will not be my last.

Any sites selling these? I have had a hard time finding them online.

I picked mine up here:

Dan is a wonderful guy to deal with and their packaging for shipping is the best I have experienced.

I would recommend Tower Cigars in Cali. Mark will take care of you for the Illusions.

Seems like good prices

I just found them have you bought from them? They do seem to have good prices.

 

[JRL]

I never have.

Bought cabs of the Cabaiguan Guapos from Tower. Also bought several singles and Mark gifted me the Illusions to try. First one was a robusto (88?). It was just ok but I certainly can not judge a brand by a single stick.

The 88 I had was pretty good and i had just bought it that day. So with a little age on them they shoule be very good.

Mark @ Tower is the way to go IMO, top notch service and a helluva guy to boot.

There are a few other places to order the Illusiones, but I can't find a link to them just yet.

Indeed Mark is a good guy. He and his dad run the place. Mark is a dedicated family man and that makes him special too.

I bought some of these from my local B&M and have smoked one and really liked it. I have one (maybe two) still sitting in my humi waiting to be smoked...
