Illusione Dark Prince...lite on flavor

[e-man67]

So this was part of a high end bunch of sticks I recieved from a forum member. With all the talk about how good the Illusiones were I just had to give it a go. This is one long and slender stick. The wrapper was very smooth with very few veins. Do they spray paint the wrapper? Is this the "Illusione?" If you look at the wrapper the end is very dark and then it goes to a lighter shape....there are splotches on the wrapper of black litterally it looks like a bad paint fade job. The dry draw was nice which is always a concern with a stick this long. I spark it up and I get a tiny bit of spice, slight nutty taste, but mostly just burning tobacco flavor...it wasn't at all what I expected. The stick burned like a champ but really lacked in the flavor department. Anyone else have this experience?
