Local BM purchase. Far left is a store blend given as a freebie. Smoking the Illusione right now, and I think, I don't care for Illusione cigars all that much.
Gigantes it's certainly not representative of the brand as a whole. Go find an Epernay and a MK Ultra Corona, smoke those, and come back and tell us you don't like illusione.

This. That thing is sort of less flavorful Rothschilde from the 2 I've tried

Illusione cigars are well made and clearly of quality tobacco. I've had the epernay, 888, annukai, rothchild we and now the gigante. I think it's just not the flavor profile I'm looking for. Retrohale has nice pepper to it, but for me, on each, the finish is too short and flavors too mild. Just personal preference.

Rothchild was closest to what I like.

Latest haul from Small Batch. Not pictured: free trucker hat that my wife has already said I'm not allowed to wear. Also, the Flor de Valles belong to Erjaq because the stupid packers decided to choke on it against the hated Seahawks.
