illusione 68

Size- 4x44
Binder- Nic
Filler- Nic
Wrapper- Nic colorado

Beverage- Bombay Sapphire and tonic.

This really isn't going to be a super organized/detailed review solely because I wasn't even planning on reviewing it. However, it was just so damn good I had to share. This stick is fantastic. I have only had one other before this and I have to say that based on a few beverages that were had along with it I really hadn't remembered much about it. In any case:

Flavor- Unbelievable dense flavors of chocolate, espresso, and toasty caramel.

From the start this stick produced thick white clouds of smoke and the ash held firm until I tapped it off. Now I have to say that due to my inexperience with being able to nub too many smokes without burning my fingers or lips, I usually can't take them too far past the band. This was an exception. I didn't want to put it down. Had I any toothpicks available I would've kept it going until it was all ash.

I highly recommend this cigar and I'm excited about the fact that I have a few more in my humi just begging to be smoked. Gonna let them rest a little longer and see what happens.

Great review, and I concur.

I keep a box of these in the cabinet for those times when I want a real, full cigar but not an hour+ of smoking time. One of my very favorite weeknight smokes.....:thumbs:

I burn my fingers about 3 times a week on these.

Greg, thanks for including one of these in your blind PIF package. I'm really looking forward to setting fire to it... I hear nothing but rave reviews about the 68. If it's anything like any other illusione I've had, it'll be a treat.

I'm gonna run this stick down. Hopefully the local shop here will have them!

Thanks,

I know I've said this a few times on here, but I love these little fockers. The best Illusione going, IMO, and one of the best sticks on the market. It's in my top three of all time. :love:

I'm sure they are available lots of places, but the nice guys at Fumare in Reno will have them for sure.......

Now you are going to make me look for this one.

Been a while since I smoked an Illusione ... you've inspired me ... that will be this evenings choice.
Nice concise review.

Stay away! Mine! All mine!!

Glad you liked the stick blue. Still have yet to try any Illusione but this makes it jump up higher in my "look for them" list.
