I think I have been on the receiving end of such purchases in the past.

That is comic though, thanks for the chuckle, Scott.

Thanks,I especially love the humidity packet included. I do not know who decides what the PX System purchases, but I am far from unhappy. Although I have not found the shops like we had in Iraq that sold Cuban, granted you had to be very selective when picking them out since they were very bad at keeping them at a decent humidity and temp.

I just smoked a Cruzado Marios last weekend that was in my cooler for about three months and I could barely make it through the first half. Way too green and one dimensional and would have easily taken me three hours to finish. These need some serious down time IMO.....Although i'm a huge fan of Illusione and their notorious power/spice, these were a bit of a disapointment!

Which store Tyler? I hope the Viaje are still around Friday, I'm heading to Outlaw around 11:00. All those sticks have me :dr
I need to try and sneak down there in the next couple of weeks. I'm running low on 13's and TAA PAM's (if they even have any left).
I don't think I've seen any of the Viaje's at Outlaw.
Unless something has recently changed, you won't. According to them, they stopped carrying Viaje's because they weren't selling (or selling fast enough to justify taking up shelf/counter space anyways).

These need some serious down time IMO.....Although i'm a huge fan of Illusione and their notorious power/spice, these were a bit of a disapointment!

Here is what I wrote as a review of these back in January of 2010.
Cruzado Avalitos
4X46
By Illusione
Aesthetics/Pre-light construction: This is a good looking stick, short and stubby with a triple cap that’s pig-tailed. Nice job. The Criollo wrapper on this bad boy was dark and showed a slight oily sheen, with a few veins, but very attractive. I like the fact that this short roubusto is hefty in the hand and very firm for foot to cap.

Post-light Construction/Burn Characteristics: This has a perfect draw, just a hint of resistance, and producing mouthfuls of smoke. The burn wavered a bit, but never ran, and the dark grey ash held firmly till I coaxed it off.
Flavor/Strength: I was a bit surprised by this stick as it exhibited strong pepper almost to the point of harsh at the beginning. It needed a good ½-3/4” to smooth out (I’m not sure that’s something I want to wait on with a cigar this size). Initially, spice and pepper predominate and snorking brought tears to my eyes, literally. As I reached the inch mark this smoothed out some and was very enjoyable as I love a complex cigar with some bite, but this flirted with too much. As it continued, I found myself enjoying the complexity and shifting flavors, seeming to go from spice to sweet to caramel, and the spices that I just couldn’t seem to identify. I must admit, that this is an intriguing stick, as there are flavors here I really couldn’t identify – or it might just have been that so much was happening at the same time. As far as being milder than the Illusione, I’m not sure who is smoking what, but that isn’t the case here. (As an aside, I think that some of harshness at the beginning might have been the youth of this cigar as I only had it for a week before smoking – some humidor time might have smoothed it out a bit.)

Aroma: I must say that I really enjoyed the “room note” this cigar produced. Here’s where the spice really seemed to shine and chocolate ephemerally played with my olfactory senses.

Finish: Bold and sassy in the mouth and nose, but the finish was gone along with the smoke. OK, so that’s an exaggeration, but the finish was very short.

Recommendation/Value: I don’t like to do number ratings, maybe I should adopt halos for my ratings as a pastor. I don’t know if that’s a good way to do it either, because some use stars. I like to keep my cigar prices around $3.00 a stick, and this one made me bend those rules a bit – and it was well worth it. This is a stick I will visit again in the future.

I ran back to the B&M to pick up a couple of the Friends and Family for a BOTL, and they hadn't sold any since yesterday, so I picked a couple more for myself.
