I have some coming (and am very excited about it too!!) and was wondering if anybody has had the opportunity to experience one yet and what they thought?

Not yet, have a box comming as well though. I'm going to try an MK tonight, if I feel froggy I'll post a review.
 
Are these even out yet? I can't find a single vendor on-line or local B&M that has them. I know leaf and ale, I think that's the name, has had a pre order for them for awhile now.
 
Yes. Very flavorful. Very strong. Very full bodied. None of the sweetness of the Illusione line. Great mouth feel and a good finish.
 
Ok, I couldn't wait any longer and had to try one since I bought a box of these.

Mine are the domencios 5 5/8x46

I typically don't favor a cigar that has a lot of 'pepper' to it and this cigar definitely has that, but I must say, I really liked this stick! It definitely left my nose tingling when I blew through my nose! :D

Despite the typical windy North Dakota afternoon the burn was flawless. The ash burned a darker gray and held on for a good 3/4 inch or more. It may have been operator error but it did get hot and a little harsh with about 2 inches to go so I put it down.

Now I am usually only a 1 cigar a day smoker but I can honestly say I was tempted to torch another one and enjoy the 70 degree weather we are having some more but being that I am on an empty stomach decided against it.

I have yet to try any cigars from the Illusione line but if their profile is a bit milder and sweeter than the Cruzado I will begin my search post-haste!

I can only imagine these will get better with more time in the humidor and if that holds to be true I made a great choice in my fist box purchase!

I definitely recommend these cigars, especially if you like your smokes with a 'peppery' finish!

Big thanks to idahogn for giving me the opportunity to pick these up!

Had my first Cruzado (also a Domenicos - also from idahogn's shop) last weekend. Very nice cigar. Full bodied. As Matt mentions above, great flavors with a good finish. I really enjoyed it. :thumbs:

As for the Illusione, they are some of the nicest cigars on the market right now, IMO. I especially enjoy the ~68~. You might want to give Shawn (idahogn) a call on these, as he has them in stock also.

Blasphemy!
 
Any chance we can get some pictures of these cigars? I've yet to see what they look like.

Edited to add: Nevermind, saw them on the "Latest Purchase" thread. I wouldn't mind seeing some more pics though. :)
 
I got my box and let them sit for a bit and had my first one last night. It wasn't a bad cigar but it didn't really move me in any way. I had tried an MK before and wasn't real crazy on that either, I guess I'm another one that the illusione's don't really do anything for. Really wish I would have waited and grabbed a 5'er instead as I'm now stuck with a box. Check the BST forum in Jan as I'll more than likely be posting the 15 I have left in my box up for sale; will finally have been here 4 months!
