What Illusione should I try ?

[groogs]

I would vote for the Holy Lance and the MK. Those are the best Illusione's I have had so far.

If you want the full on full-bodied ass kicking that Illusiones can sometimes provide...~m7~ Diadema....WAY WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY!

What can I say? I love all of the Illusione line!!!

CG4 and the F9 are both excellent introductions to the line.

After the use of the Jim Jones images in their marketing I suggest finding another brand to try. That said, all those I've smoked have been pretty good.

i've been a really big fan of the tatuaje angeles and had smoked those on an almost daily basis while grilling. i've slowly started to shift over to the 68's just because i wanted something different and so far they have all been great.

I've thought about that as well, but I have chalked that up as the owner of the brand being immature (cf. stupid marketing/naming), which I can handle.

Dion is a good guy, I'm sure if you met him you would agree. The point of marketing is to show your product, generate hype, etc. The fact that you're talking about the JJ thing, means the marketing is working.

there is such a thing as BAD publicity.... I have spoken to Dion numerous times.... still I can't support that JJ ad... myself and many others have cut down, or stopped buying Illusione all together. so much for ''hype'...

too bad, it's a great blend

I have not personally seen an ad for illusione although I've read great reviews of these cigars.

The fact that people are talking about his use of a mass murder for marketing is hardly proof that marketing is working. I mean for God's sake, children were forced to drink poison that day by their parents. I remember the pictures of hundreds of bloated dead bodies in the news. Children killed by their parents is as putrid and disgusting as parents abusing their children. As a parent, I find this use of JJ in marketing deplorable, to be polite.

Nonetheless, I have seen pictures of Dion and he is a pup. Tell him to shave the sideburns. I attribute this marketing to his youth. Either that or the drugs. Because I haven't been personally exposed to this marketing, I'll let him slide. But for sure, this marketing isn't smart.
