'98 Cohiba Lancero after lunch and I just started an Illusione mj12. I'm pleasantly surprised that the mj is able to keep my interest after my extra special Cohiba, but it is very well balanced and complex with some interesting flavors going on. I'd say the taste is similar to a Padron '64.

Unfortunately the gauge is just stupidly large, I'm guessing at least 54, maybe 56. As a result the burn is all over the place, requiring constant correction, and it's just a real distraction to the overall enjoyment of the cigar. I didn't realize until I took the foil off just how freakin' huge this thing is.
