I'm a big illusione fan, so I was very excited to try this new line. Had the le Ferme (robusto) as the first cigar of yesterday's Tulip Twin herf. Very nice looking cigar, but the construction was subpar (windtunnel-loose draw, uneven burn,) and the flavors didn't wow me. It had some decent complexity: nuts, woody, a chocolatey sweetness, but I was expecting more from this. I have to give it credit for being a milder cigar than the typical illusione line, so points for that. But at $8+ per stick, I'll look for something else to buy.
