A great yard gar at $40/box20. Only a few more left and I doubt the newer ones will be as good. Great burn, draw, and flavors for fiddling with the truck or chasing the geese around

I did something like it when I had kids. I got a pad and pen we sat down and talked and I wrote down the things we agreed to work on. But I think the most powereful thing about it was giving your attention and understanding. Results will vary. I had a master manipulater in my group who will...

People can get way too serious on cigar forums. It's only rock and roll. Am I really the only one that ever broke a rule or was inconsistent in applying principles? Where is the nation of terrorists that told the British Empire to go pound sand?

m I agree on all counts. After all rules are always suggestions in disguise. Like that stop sign on a country road where you can see a mile in either direction AFTER harvest. Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, after all. :) So it's just a suggestion with the explanation behind it...

Excellent review, Brad! I stopped smoking the VSGs about 10 yrs ago when I thought the quality/price ratio dipped. Subjective, I know. Perhaps they are worth a revisit. I seem to recall a VSG Corona Illusion (no relation to illusione). I think the perfecto was named Enchantment. About the...

It's not a sticky? Make it so, please. Although, it will still happen now and then. New members are like kids in a candy store. Getting them to read stickies is like asking that proverbial kid to read his Bible instead.

Way to welcome the newbie! I often buy a box of those little Exquisitos Maddie for myself for the winter. Nice 15 to 20 min smoke.

Always a pleasure, especially after all these years.

Fuente Sungrown Rosado R44 - best of the line, IMHO. Complex flavors, great body. It's funny that we love to suggest cigars in a forum. I guess for me it's half vicarious enjoyment and half nurture.

Yeah, it's a vague description I usually use out of laziness. In an actual review one should try to be more precise. For me baking spices usually means a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon, and malt. As far as anise goes, CAO Brazilia was one I remember for anise. Many cigars have these flavors but...

Perdomo Habano Robusto Not what I expected but complex flavors of nuts and baking spices - well aged tobacco. More medium than strong.

The smallest Aquitaine but still very good and only $3, too!

These two lovely cigars finished an illusione quadfecta. BOMBONE, Epernay le petite, 88, and Rothchilde.

Epernay le petite - another excellent stick from illusione.

It's unfortunate but this is the nature of the business. You get a successful brand and you try to maintain the quality but supply of the original tobacco dwindles or is repurposed and eventually, if you do it right, they still sell at a reduced price It happened with CCs, too, to a lesser...

BOMBONE!!

Moontrance from Ginseng next! A new masochist forum, perhaps? :)

I'm looking forward to your Fresco review. :P

The original yummy bitch. :P

You're hired! You already have the cigar, after all. :) Corneighdo can be your sidekick. :P
