The mj12 is phenomenal. I smoked one while fasting and it left my palate fresh, great long finish, delicious smooth, furry(?) wrapper, great flavors. Smoked another after I ate, phenomenal smoke!

You smoked a cigar that size while fasting? You are a manlier man than I. That would totally make me

Nice review! Have to say, the only Illusione I don't like is the cruzado line.

I usually smoke a cigar on Jewish fast days (except Yom Kippur). I really don't mind fasting so much.
They quench the appetite, relax me and give a little pick-me-up, a stimulant similiar to a coffee. I make it a point to only smoke something I know I will enjoy (high quality), and will leave me with a good flavor and nice finish on the palate. The mj12 was perfect. I had it during a fundraising meeting in a cigar lounge. Illusiones definitely leave the palate fresh, and Dino actually references that when he creates a blend it should cover the whole palate with flavor, so you don't have to take a drink. I also like Padrons for this purpose.
