Don makes such a good line up of cigars, and all of them are Good. What is your favorite, though?

Hard for me to pick one. So far probably the Epernay... The 88's a close second.

Hard to beat the Holy Lance.
Have only had the 88 and 2, that said....I prefer the 2.
Any of them in the smaller ring gauges (44 and smaller). Epernay's or the classic Illusione's. I do like the larger ones too, but I love the small R.G's

You have to go to the lounge to get them. I have a few and they're good, but should improve with age. The flavors are a little muddy at this point.
My favorite has to be the Holy Lance or the Epernay line. I do enjoy the 888 candela as well.

I've only had the Epernay and the 88. I much prefer the Epernay out of those two.
I haven't tried all of them, but the Epernay is my favorite so far.

I've tried a few of the vitolas, and really liked all of them. Still need to try his lancero, and the candela. So far, the Epernay is my favorite.

You can get them from his (Dion's) shop in Reno...Fumare. I saw them there a few weeks ago. I believe they ship.
The 88s are my favorite. Had a Le Matin at Fumare last summer that was fantastic and a Singulare there a few weeks ago that was also very good. I just had the 888 box press the other night. While it was good it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. It looked great though. The look and feel reminded me of a Padron 1964 Diplomatico.

CG:4 is my favorite. After that my #2 is whichever one I'm smoking at the time. Never had a bad one.

don't like the original illusione's due to construction and inconsistencies between cigars. They have good flavor profiles but they are just too inconsistent. The Epernay line is my favorite and I LLLOOVVEE them, they seem to be better constructed and pair exceptionally well with one of my favorite drinks- Sauternes.
If you have never drank sauternes and smoked an epernay, you ain't livin'!

The mk and 888 Slam are a couple of my faves, but I can definitely get down with the Holy Lance...those were damn tasty sticks as well.

HL Maduro hands down!!
I don't like a single one of the Illusione "regular" lines (except HL M), but do like the Cruzado (Dominicos Extra), Epernay, and Nosotros.
