Favorite Illusione

[sofc]

I'm looking to buy some, anyone have any favorite (non-churchill) Illusione cigars?

gotta love the cg4

I'd suggest a sampler at New Havana. No one knows yer likes/dislikes better than yerself.

Epernay Le Elegence & ECCJ, Cruzado Domenicos, Illusione MJ12, 68, 88, F9 and my everyday go to the MK (The Learning Stick).

The CG:4 is my favorite Illusione. Mk and in close second. Epernay's are pretty damn good too!

I'm the oddball so far. I have tried a few of the Illusione's and I just don't get them. I have in my humi the cg4's and a couple of the Epernay's from a sample I ordered. I really want to love this cigar however In my opinion there just ok. There not a terrible smoke and the have a very pleasent smell when burning, they just don't excite my pallet enough on the flavor. Who knows maybe down the road that will change!

88 all the way.

cg4, Epernay, ECCJ and mj12 are my favorite!

I was not impressed with the cg4. To be honest, it may be the biggest cigar let down in the last few years...IMO. On the other hand, I love the bands with gold lettering and the one wrapped with tin foil. As you can see, I really pay attention to the names :thumbsup:

+1 to that.

I am, however, really looking forward to trying the Nosotros. From the reviews, they sound like more my speed.

I got the 7 cigar sampler from NHC of 90+ rated Illusiones. My favorite of those was the F9. They were all good, but I thought the smaller ring gauges really stood out.

I had the same experience with these. Tried the F9 and the cg4, and both left me slightly let down on flavor - they weren't bad, just lacking something. Obviously as a true scientist, I must continue to experiment. Epernay is next on the list.

F9 is my fave but they are all good. You can't go wrong just get a sampler of all the sizes you prefer.

 

[Proud Bear]

The 88, hands down. Plus, the Cruzados are to die for.

Right now it is the F9 for me.

cg4, The White Horse! Now if someone is willing to bomb me with the ECCJ, I'll send you my address.

Any reason you don't want to try a churchill? Just don't like that vitola? That said, any of those NHC samplers is probably the best bet for you....
