Illusione cg:4 Review - Page 2

Fumador · 11-07-2008, 09:54 AM

Illusiones are indeed very good cigars.

I was not impressed with the cg:4 I had last night. Way too sweet for me. The sweetness did however fade well after the half way point but by then it was too late.

Im not sure these are worth the price.

Nice review. Not my favorite stick in the Illusione line but it sounds like you found a keeper.

Nice review and thanks for the pics! I'm a big fan of illusiones!

Here's a link where we did some blind reviews at a herf on the Illusione cg4.

Monday night I smoked one of these gifted by TRicker that was over a year old.

WOW! What a difference. I liked it fresh, loved it rested. So much so that Im gonna order a box and stash them away.

Tip: Buy them and stash them in the bottom/back of your vino/cabinet/cooler and forget about them for a year. Your patience will be rewarded!

Picked up one at the B&M yesterday. Can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for the review.

I've only ever smoked one of these but your review was exactly as a remembered mine.

I realize this is an ancient thread revival, however I found it to be just due to the fact that this review is exactly what I am experiencing with a cg4 right now. Except my ash is lasting about and inch longer.
Great review, I really noticed the sweet in the beginning and the nice leathery flavor in the end. I like this cigar!

I just had to do a relighting at the end of the second third. Kinda wierd but after a light perge it still tastes great.

gator_79 · 10-10-2011, 07:45 PM

I have one of these resting in my humi. So far I have not been impressed with Illusion but I hear good things about this one. I'm looking forward to it.

rizzle · 10-13-2011, 01:00 PM

Other than the hl, still my fave Illusione.

dave · 10-13-2011, 01:11 PM

My favorite Illusione. In fact, one of my favorite cigars.

10-14-2011, 06:43 AM

very good review. I love these as well, went through a box of them. Also like the 88 and mj12

Blak Smyth · 10-14-2011, 07:02 AM

I actually liked this better than the 88s, just my personal preference.
I know people rave about the 88s, I just thought they were okay.

10-14-2011, 08:23 AM

Looks like something else I'll have to add to my Must Try list.

falconman515 · 10-17-2011, 06:19 PM

Great Review!

Illusione makes so many different types of sticks and I wouldnt have a clue which one to try first.

I think this will be at the top of my list of Illusiones I try when I graduate to these premium type of stick one of these days.

Mr B · 10-17-2011, 06:26 PM

Nice review.
I enjoy their smaller ring-guage sticks most.
MK, HL and 68 are my Favs.
The Epernays are one of my all time "Go-To" sticks also.

SteelCityBoy · 11-25-2011, 07:42 AM

Smoked one of these on Thanksgiving. It was my first. I really like the 888 too but this cg4 was better! Delicious Smoke!
