Illusione MJ12 Question

Big Maduro · 08-21-2012, 11:09 PM

I was looking at something new to try. I saw the Illusione MJ at my B&M, it was wrapped in foil. My question..Does this dry the cigar out?

icehog3 · 08-21-2012, 11:13 PM

No, Mike, my experience is that is actually holds the moisture in.

They are a great cigar. There is also a maduro version, that is wrapped in black foil.

The maduro is definitely the way to go IMO if they have it

Taki hit the nail on the head right there.

What wrapper is on the MJ in the silver foil?

Agreed. It is one of the best.

Thanks, I guess I knew a top company wouldn't do something to harm a cigar. It just struck me as strange, I've never seen this before.

I've never smoked the Maduro MJ12, but the Regular one is
amazing! I really don't care for the wrapper on their current
maduro line.

I'm with you, whodeeni. Very rare is the San Andres maddie that does anything for me. Wish Andre would have stuck with a corojo maduro.

I'll take any 'regular' Illusione over the maduro version.

I liked all the other maduros Illusione does, but I am not a fan of the mj12 maduro. Something was just off compared to the others from the few I've tried. Maybe I'll give em another go in the next couple days.

I'm with Excel, I do not care for their maduro wrapper.

I think the only one I saw was silver. I was looking at it and the Epernay. I'm leaving for a camping trip tomorrow and like to take something new. I decided on an Illusione and a Fausto.

Big Maduro · 08-22-2012, 11:06 AM

So can it be smoked ROTT? Or right out the store as it were?

I would say yes! I've bought several maduros and the all smoked fine right out the shop however some were a little to moist (had some burn issues bur nothing to write home about) that being said I think I'm smoking one tonight!!

NorCal_Mark (Tower Cigars) sent a box over to one of our herfs right when they were first released, and a number of us smoked them at the herf. The one I smoked seemed perfectly fine to me.

That's because you're always smoking those Matcans that make you go blind in one eye.
