Illusione Cigars

[Lomey]

I'm looking to try something different and I see a lot about Illusione cigars. There seems to be a lot choices. Any opinion on which ones to try first? I know I could just jump in and buy some, but thought I would ask for advice here first.

The cigars I smoke weekly are the Cain Habano and F's, Undercrowns, Papas Fritas, Oliva V's and Melanio, Casa Fernandez Miami and Camacho Triple Maduro if that helps.

I like the F9 and the HL maduro.

Why would you want to smoke anything else???

Honestly I haven't had a bad one yet and all the ones with age seem to be even more amazing somehow.

Give the epernay a go on a clean palate, you won't be disappointed. Give the ultra a go if you want full body and full flavor with balance. The rothchildes are great. The whole line is fantastic.

 

[javajunkie]

also realize the ultra like and the MKUltra are different blends. the first is damn good, but the second is habit forming! o)

First one I had was the 888 ... I went back to it 3 times that week and it wasn't a fluke. Great stick.

Because verity is the spice of life?!

Yes I recommend a Rothschild, great little smoke. Also have enjoyed the cg4 before.

Love the 888 and always have cg-4 and cg-4 maduros in my humi

Instead if making it more confusing by adding more types that are great, I'll second some already said smokes. The Epernay with age is great but the MKUltra is off the charts, one of the best cigars made.

 

[davewittwer]

For a short smoke grabe some of the Rothschild. They're great

 

[e-dawg]

MKULTRA and Rothchildes get my vote. Both off the charts IMHO.

Based on your likes, I highly suggest starting with CG4. Full flavor. Size with most consistent construction. Widely available. Long and/or skinny Illusione can be a little temperamental; Epernay are great, but pretty nuanced for those of us who like full bodied cigars; Maddies are all (mostly?) San Andres wrapped - If that's to your liking, try one of those. To me, the maddies and Ultra are overpowered by the wrapper and lose the wonderfully complex spiciness found in core lines. That said, there isn't a bad Illusione. But the CG4's, to me are tops.

I'd try the 88 in natural and maduro and go from there. There are plenty of sizes and blends to choose from with Illusione but I always find myself going back to the 88 and F9 naturals. Their Cruzado and Epernay lines are also fantastic and if you like Casa Fernandez I think you'll find yourself liking those blends as well.

Wow, thanks guys! I am going to take notes and get a few to try for the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments coming up, weather is supposed to be warming up. I will report back with what I go with.

I second this

88 maduro is nice
4/2 is nice
Rothchildes *may be* the best value in cigars, any line any size. I WILL split a cab with someone.
