Illusione

the 88 and the 888's are tops. i really think you'll enjoy them. the cg/4 is totally different than the rest of the line IMO, finer tastes whereas the 68/88/888/M2 have balls. The 2/3 is great too.
 
All above retailers are top-notch. Thanks again to all of the members here at CS for your support. I'm really behind the 8 ball right now after IPCPR but, Paul over at the warehouse is starting to get orders out. I'll have to figure out another contest here in the next week or so. Last MKULTRA contest went a little TOO quick!

Saludos -

Dion
 
Sorry for the total noob question, but aren't all the illusiones the same blend, and the abbreviation is just the size?

As I understand it, the gold labels are a different blend then the regular. The regulars flavor profiles vary greatly by size.
 
That's interesting. I picked up a 5er of the 88's but they clashed a bit with the flavors I usually like. Maybe I'll try some of the others.
 
I want you all to know that this will be my very next purchase since I did not see a single negative review or comment anywhere. I went to the Illusione site and I was blown away. How have these cigars been so quiet on CS? I want to thank you all for bringing the cigar to my attention!!! :D Thanks!
 
I smoke 90% Cubans, and I find the Illusione line to be absolutely some of the best tasting and constructed non-cubans that exist today. They do not make any attempt to mimic a cuban flavor profile, but instead make a solid nic. cigar. They completely stand on their own.

And yes, they sold out of all their inventory at IPCPR. There is likely going to be a shortfall of supply this year as production is limited to 500,000. Get 'em while you can.

Right now, they are the only non-CCs I have bought in 6 months, and you hit it on the head with these things, they are unique in their flavor and unparallelled in their construction.
 
I find the ECCJ's to have a bit more of that Tobacco and spice. Whereas the CG:4 tends to have more of a that rich sweetness to them. I personally think the CG:4 is more complex, but the ECCJ has a bit more body.

:tpd:totally agree, just had an 88 and i enjoyed the cg4 more. the 88 was very good, i got some choc undertones. but the cg4 had more subtle complexity. all that being said i'm still gonna try out the others.

When you are only producing 500,000 cigars with something this hot, it is no wonder it sold out. I'm glad Dion is doing well, but I may get a bit upset in a few months when I have trouble finding my beloved Illusione No. 2's.

:confused::rolleyes::mad: You're right!



Guy's. These things are terrible!:tg Not worth it! Dont buy them.

(while quietly stocking up):ss
 
well smoking cg:4 right and i really like it. HAs a nice flavor that i enjoy. Thanks cant wait to try the other 6 i got. going to be a good week
 
Smoked everything from Illusione, except the 2/3-Culebra and out of 200+ cigars only had one dud. Agree with tandblov how Dion is not trying to copy a Cuban profile like so many have tried and failed. Looking forward to their new releases.
