Illusione Cigars

I was recently reading a report from the IPCPR show, and it talked about a brand of cigar called Illusione. Now I had never before heard of this company but the review made it seem very enticing. So like any good cigar smoker, I immediately began looking into getting my hands on them. Now, in my research, I found out that it was probably going to be hard to get my hands on because this cigar has a limited yearly production of under 500,000. So once I found their wresellerebsite my first stop was their "where to buy" page to find the closest . To my surprise my local B&M just happened to carry them! So the other day I went and picked a few up and tonight I am enjoying my first one the cg:4 and I must say these are all they are cracked up to be (IMHO). I highly recommend them to anyone who can get there hands on them. I might even throw a few of these in a bomb or two Anyway I was just curious if anyone else had tried these and what they thought.

I am smoking the cg:4 as I type and really liked this blend. Some very nice flavors with lots of smoke--Great Cifar!

You now need to try the HL--wow the entire line are some good un's--

Illusiones have been on my short list for over a year now. In fact, I had a 68 last night just before bed. My infamous "Locker of Contraband" at the local B&M always has a few full boxes of mk, cg:4, and 68, and I also keep open boxes of the same ones at home. I have smoked every shape in the line except the hl, 1, and eccj. Excellent smokes to be sure. Dion definitely knows how to make a cigar, and is very strict when it comes to quality control.
