NC recommendations for while I'm in the States?

I think the Illuisone 88 is the best size, but everybody is different. Hope you picked up some larger size Illusione and not just the 68. I know you have already picked out your cigars but if you make it by another shop try out the Padilla Miami Robusto. Its a great Nicaraguan puro and made in the same factory as the Illusione.

Not any more. The Padilla is made in the Padilla factory in Miami. They were only made in Honduras for a short time while the factory was built.

My understanding is he doesn't have his rollers yet, and if he does he just got them recent, so the ones on the shelves are not from his Miami factory. Besides even if they are its still the same blend from Fernandez no matter where its rolled.

Too bad it's not the Pepin blend that put them on the map. Can't give the new ones away at the shop.
