Illusione ~mk~ ultra

[njstone]

Hey, how does the MK Ultra compare to the Fausto, for those who've smoked both?

 

[CigarKing]

IMO the Fausto is MUCH spicier. The MKUltra just doesn't have the spice the Fausto does. Both are full bodied full flavored smokes. The MK has more of the earthy/leathery flavor while the Fausto was more cocoa/coffee.

I smoked an Ultra today and I was definantly wowed, fantastic cigar!

Cool, thanks! I look forward to trying both :cjump:

You should, you dont know what you are missing with a lot of them. Most recently I picked up a cab of epernays, they showed up a week or 2 ago and I have already torn through 15 or so of them. I wish I picked up more than one cab because they are absolutely delicious right now/

.....x2. The eps have been smoking really well.

I actually found the opposite to be true. In my experiences, I found the MK Ultra to be much spicier than the Fausto. Though, I've only smoked one MK Ultra, and only three Faustos.

In my opinion, after only smoking one MK Ultra, I do believe it tops the Fausto. I will of course experiment further once my other MK Ultras rest for awhile...

The original MK is one cigar I just could not get into. I gave it a fair shot (smoke atleast 4) just something I didn't like.

I saw this cigar and almost ordered a 5r but I like a bigger cigar (Toro or Rob extra) I have smoked a few Illusione cigars but have not found anything in the line yet to give me that wow factor. Guess I should post and ask you fellows which one of the sizes of this brand you would recommend I try that you love.
PM me if you can think of one so I'm not thread jacking here.

Smoked my first at lunch and I feel this is the best Illusione yet! Tons of spice but doesn't detract from the underlying flavors of the stick. If you are looking for an alternative the $13 LP Dirty Rat then this is it. Buy 2 Ultra coronas..I will. I smoke very few NC's but when I do I want the spice...this does not disappoint.

Smoked only one but really enjoyed it. Tons of great heavy flavors and slow burner that even with the smaller size gives you ample smoking time.

Note to self:

Must check B&M to see if they have them. Sounds like a stick I'd enjoy.

My, what two weeks in a humidor at 65% RH can do...

The MK Ultra hasn't gone out on me yet, and I'm halfway through it. The burn is still wonky, but a little touch up with the ligther never killed anybody.

This is my third MK Ultra I'm currently smoking. The second was a dud, it was rolled too tight and I could hardly draw from it. I thought it would open up but never did; instead it got very soft and mushy. I had to toss it halfway through.

Aside from that dud, I'm loving the MK Ultra. If you're a full-bodied, pepper and spice lover (like me) and you haven't tried this cigar yet - do so. It's certainly box-worthy.
