Default Tell me about illusione

Where I work, people keep asking about illusione cigars and we dont cary them (yet). Show me what were missing out on, price points reviews and pics! I'm working on the boss to carry undercrown so might as well see what else we can sneak in.

Wasn't a big fan of Illusione cigars until they released the maduro line. The CG4 and Eperenay are very solid sticks. But when they released the 88 Maduro...made me a big fan!!

Shouldn't the fact you have had multiple people ask about the sticks be reason enough to order in a few boxes?

Maybe that's just me.

If you search the Island (The other ones) Reviews forum for "illusione", you'll find about 100 related threads, most of which are reviews, of the various illusione cigars.

I'm not the orderer, lol, but the boss does occasionally listen to us peons. they are good guys and generally take heed, I just want to know what they are all about in case they ask! I like to know

The naturals have a nice meaty/leathery flavor profile with a nice spice that lingers around. The maduros are just flat out delicious, lots of earthy sweet goodness. The candelas are the only candela I've ever enjoyed, surprisingly maintains a decent bit of spice. Never been a fan of the Epernays, too pricey for what I got out of em.

Default Re: Tell me about illusione

There's something about the Epernay line, the rustic tobacco taste that just appeals to me. I never cared much for many of the regular Illusione lines (just the HL and MK), but I always found the Epernay lines to be perfectly balanced for a regular smoke.

Price points run in the $7-15 range, depending on the size and your local tobacco tax, so they're well priced.

There is no better way to learn about a cigar than to smoke a few! They are all excellent, but my favorites are the 888 and mj12 (burrito). The maduros I find to be a little too sweet.

Tell the boss to get a couple boxes in, even if he has to pay retail for them. Smoke a couple, maybe even give a few out to regular customers. A great way to build good will with your good customers, and a quick way to build some excitement and get some feedback.

Seems pretty simple to me....
