illusione mj12
Construction: Very good. Nice wrapper with a dark leather color, and a few small veins. Prelight: noticeable spice on the lips, really nice taste First Third: Leather and pepper flavors. Really tasty, good hit of spice Draw: easy Burn: a bit uneven, but not worth touching up Ash/Smoke: solid, dropped after about an inch, salt and pepper color, lots of smoke Second Third: more of the spice, mellows a bit and leather is gone Final third: had to slow down b/c I was smoking the last bit a bit fast and got some harsh/ bitter flavors after the ash dropped, once it cooled I purged and waited a bit and finished down to the nub. Strength: Medium/ Full Flavor: Full Overall Impression: l dont smoke many big ring gauge cigars, but am really glad I picked this one up it was the best cigar I have smoked all week. Scoring Construction: 9/10 Prelight: 5/5 First Third: 14/15 Draw: 10/10 Burn: 8/10 Ash / Smoke: 8/10 Second Third: 9/10 Final Third: 8/10 Overall impression: 18/20 Total Score: 89/100 |

Re: illusione mj12
I'm just finishing one now and it tastes and behaves much like the 88's I have.
For it's size the price of 9.65 really isn't so bad.If you like this kind of cigar that is. |

Re: illusione mj12
Great review! Like you, I don't smoke many big cigars. But this is one that I do keep on hand, love them! Maybe not quite as spicy as the 88, but just as good, and stronger than the other large Illusiones.

Honestly still can't believe this cigar didn't crack the Top 25 last year. These things were HOT at our local shop.
