Hahahahaha! How'd you know?

He's definitely in the top 3. His work is amazing, great flavors, excellent consistency and quality. Even though most of his lines aren't exactly in my preference, When I have a run of disappointments, I reach for an illusione because I can about guarantee I won't be let down.
But honestly my number 1 has to be either the mysterious Greek behind Curi, or Pete Johnson because of L'at, Cabaiguan, tat black, pcr, and a few others.
AJ, Nick, Steve, Huber, and the BLTC people are doing excellent work as well and deserve the #1 spots a lot of people would give them.

Definitely imo we are in a golden age of cigars, so many great blenders with great passion

For sure, and Habanos seems to relatively have their act together at the moment as well. Good time for sure.

@Hopduro is my favorite cigar blender.

Kaizad Hansotia. He’s the best. Just ask him.

You are now dead to me.

I'd say Pete Johnson, AJ Fernandez, and John Huber are my top 3 but I have no idea how I would rank them.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I also agree with @VeLoRoK; I'm a huge fan of @Hopduro!

Truth. There are some I like more than others, but every Illusione that I’ve smoked has been very good

John Huber doesn't count, he's a blend CHOOSER. The Garcia family is the brains behind crowned heads

Well then, I change mine to Pete, AJ, Dion, and Hoppy.

I agree with what’s been posted so far. I’ll add Noel Rojas.

His name is Andreas Throuvalas & he's my brotha

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Rocky Patel yet. The man has got like a thousand different cigars. Statistically speaking, some of them have to be good.

 

[Lok17]

Isnt pete a blen chooser as well?
