Illusione ~cg:4~ Outstanding Stick!
I've smoked these several times... Everytime I smoke this stick it blows my mind! So I'm @ my B&M last night, just chillin with my BOTL smoking this outstanding cigar, & it's fabulous....again!!! And it hits me... WHY DON'T I SMOKE MORE OF THESE?!?!?!?! This thing is an amaze-za-zing smoke!!!! Am I an idiot?... Probably so....

This cigar is earth, earth, & more earth. Little spice through the nose... This cigar changes very slowly, & gets better as you smoke it. Never does get harsh, & I always smoke them to the nub. Construction is always great, as well as the draw(which I consider perfect), everytime I've smoked one of these. Just enough tug to let you know your smoking something... Not to hard, not to light... Shocker that it's a Nicaraguan puro.(insert sarcasm here)

Dion, although I've never met him personally, maybe a little different guy from what interviews I've read & what I've heard from other people... But... He knows how to blend a great cigar! I don't think I've had an Illusione I didn't like come to think of it. I'll not make the mistake again of not buying a slew of these to throw in my humi.

Thanks, & hats off to you Dion!

Love the whole Illusione line, the cg:4 is very tasty as well.

Re: Illusione ~cg:4~ Outstanding Stick!
I'll have to revisit this one, I had one about two months ago and it was bitter and very free on the draw making it smoke quite hot. I was unimpressed but will try one or two more.

Re: Illusione ~cg:4~ Outstanding Stick!
I just smoked my first cg:4 last week. I agree with you all, just a great cigar.

I have really been loving all the Illusione vitolas lately!

I love this stick as it smokes, smells and tastes great with some age on them,,,,about 6 months is just right.

Re: Illusione ~cg:4~ Outstanding Stick!
Had a cg4 a while back and loved it. Also smoked an Epernay recently and it was good too. If I remember right, think it had lots of floral notes.

I don't like them all, but the cg4, mk and the 88 are awesome... And they get better with age

Re: Illusione ~cg:4~ Outstanding Stick!
I never could get anything resembling flavor from any of the Illusiones I have tried.

I have dubbed them the "Macanudo JR's" of the cigar world. I have tried a few of most of the sizes and blends and they just do nothing for me. Tastes like I am smoking air.

Not to mention that the advertising using Jim Jones was a really big turn-off for me.
