Illusione F9 Review

CIGAR: Illusione F9
DATE: 4-27-2008
SIZE: 44x 6 1/4
ORIGIN: Nicaragua
AGE: N/A
AMBIANCE: Local B&M chatting with friends
BEVERAGE: Water then a Sweetwater Georgia Brown Ale
APPEARANCE: Dark brown flawless wrapper beautifully constructed. This stick has been in my humi for some time now because i like to admire its construction
PRE-LIGHT: Leather and earthiness
FIRST-THIRD: The burn is razor sharp and the amount of smoke is wonderful. The pull is a bit tight but otherwise perfect.
I am immediately hit with chocolate tones which is soon taken over by leather and a hit of cedar. I had to check the band and make sure this was not a Cuban!

SECOND-THIRD: The leather and cedar are predominate with a bit of spice on the finish. The intensity has gone from med to med-full.

FINAL-THIRD: The leather taste is outstanding with a sweet finish (probably the chocolate)

Amazing cigar. I was constantly thinking this could be a Cuban. I will definitely have to have more!

4.5 / 5 or 95 rating.

Re: Illusione F9

great review. I've had the 68 and it was amazing. I have a couple more 68's in my humi, saving for the right time. I'll have to check out the F9. Thanks for the post.
