Illusione ~68~ Maduro
There is such a beast? How did it compare to the regular?
 
Yup... it was quietly released last spring.  The unveiling was on instagram and largely overshadowed by the release of the Gigantes.  Heck a lot of online retailers still aren't showing it in the lineup. 
 
It's a touch more earthy than the corojo 68... I like it!
 
Edited to add link to a blog story about the release

Edited because I'm a goober. It's not a best seller... And that's a good thing. It's cold outside.
 

 
 
 
Got to sample a couple of CCs during a recent trip to Toronto as part of my fine cigar education. Loved it so much I ordered a box. I had a less good experience with the Monte #2 I had the prior day.

That sucks about the Monte. I've heard they're not the most consistent. What did you end up ordering?
 
I ordered a box of the Paratagas. And yes, I was disappointed about the Monte. It turned to a bitter ammonia flavored mess half through. It must have been really green or something.

Sounds like sick period.

Damn I have been waiting for a box of those for a month. Please tell me they are as good as I think they are. If you don't mind me asking what is your box date code?

I snuck in an Oktoberfest Krone(PC) after dinner. Nice med with plenty of flavor.
