Default My first review: Illusione 4/2g

These are my notes from smoking one of these last night. My palette isn't top notch yet, but I did my best.

Appearance: slight veins, very smooth, great consistent brown color
Pre-draw: ceder, light tobacco
Light: toast with torch, finish with matches
First third: light spice through the nose, light tobacco on the finish, roasted nuts, ash slightly loose but holds ok
Second third: spice increases on finish and through nose, leather, toast
Last third: strong leather, mild spice, other minor flavors unable to pick out

Good smoke. A little expensive for what it was. Would smoke again, possible aging candidate. Not a box purchase, would do singles and 5 packs.

Burn mostly self corrected, a few small touch ups. One relight due to the top half going out.

Smoke time: 2 hr 15 min with about 2" left

I'd love to give the length and ring gauge, but I need to get a hold of one of those nifty card with the holes in it that some people here have.
