Illusione Singulare

[hscmit]

Construction: 6x50 toro size cigar with a beautiful wrapper, even bunching, no soft spots and has a nice heft to it

Prelight: very light taste of grass on the draw

First Third: starts out with a nice taste of leather and light coffee

Draw: easy

Burn: good

Ash/Smoke: ash is a bit on the flaky side and I know it off to keep it off my lap. plenty of smoke on each and every draw



Second Third: second third builds on the first the coffee taste persists and leather/cedar play well together. as the cigar passes the halfway point some spice/pepper starts to build

Final third: the final third is more pepper/spice and leather and the strength really builds as it closes

Strength: Medium

Flavor: Full

Overall Impression: really good the flavors mix and change and build throughout. I had heard that these were more on the mild side and that is not the case, it is a solid medium strength
