Illusione 888 Review
Decided to fire up an Illusione 888 after dinner.

What a great cigar!

Shape: 888 (Churchill)
Size: 6 3/4 X 48
Draw: Perfect
Burn: Perfect
Construction: Flawless (Oily Wrapper)

This is a full-bodied cigar that is very smooth, well balanced and complex.

I know a lot of you do not taste pepper in the Illusione you smoke, but this cigar has a smooth, steady stream of earth and pepper; by no means a pepper bomb. A fantastic cigar to say the least.

I like these a lot. It's a freight train in a very volkswagen package. Don't underestimate it.

Re: Illusione 888 Review
The first few I smoked were fabolous but the last three have had burn issues. Some serious canoeing. This box was not as good as the last. I still love illusione.
