Illusione cg:4 Review - Page 2

Blak Smyth · 10-10-2011, 05:35 PM

I realize this is an ancient thread revival, however I found it to be just due to the fact that this review is exactly what I am experiencing with a cg4 right now. Except my ash is lasting about and inch longer.
Great review, I really noticed the sweet in the beginning and the nice leathery flavor in the end. I like this cigar!

I just had to do a relighting at the end of the second third. Kinda wierd but after a light perge it still tastes great.

I have one of these resting in my humi. So far I have not been impressed with Illusion but I hear good things about this one. I'm looking forward to it.

rizzle · 10-13-2011, 12:00 PM

Other than the hl, still my fave Illusione.

dave · 10-13-2011, 12:11 PM

My favorite Illusione. In fact, one of my favorite cigars.

Blak Smyth · 10-14-2011, 06:02 AM

I actually liked this better than the 88s, just my personal preference.
I know people rave about the 88s, I just thought they were okay.

Looks like something else I'll have to add to my Must Try list.

Great Review!

Illusione makes so many different types of sticks and I wouldnt have a clue which one to try first.

I think this will be at the top of my list of Illusiones I try when I graduate to these premium type of stick one of these days.

Mr B · 10-17-2011, 05:26 PM

Nice review.
I enjoy their smaller ring-guage sticks most.
MK, HL and 68 are my Favs.
The Epernays are one of my all time "Go-To" sticks also.

Smoked one of these on Thanksgiving. It was my first. I really like the 888 too but this cg4 was better! Delicious Smoke!

CigarDood · 01-26-2013, 07:58 PM

I'm still smoking these. Great cigars.

Very sad....since I posted to this thread in October, I've had about a dozen of these....probably 7 to 9 had construction issues. I've been very disappointed with the construction of the core line in recent months. An Illusione without a tunnel or canoe is a special cigar, but also, increasingly rare.

vudu9 · 01-27-2013, 11:33 AM

He guys. I posted this in another forum, and will post here as well.

Normally, construction issues are a rarity when it comes to my cigars. As a matter of fact, I'm at the Airport on my way to Nica/Hondo. I will hand deliver this thread and we will make sure they get what you guys are saying. As ALWAYS with my cigars, if you ever have issues in the future, please take them back to your place of purchase. All AUTHORIZED illusione retailers should replace the affected product. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. This is my guarantee to you.

Best -

Dion.

Dion,
Thanks. I was the one who started the thread over at the other place, so I apologize for 'piling on' over here. I hadn't seen your remarks over there yet. I greatly appreciate your personal attention to this. It has been sad for me, as I think you have some of the best blends anywhere. Good luck on getting this fixed. Thanks again.
-Dave

No worries buddy. Feedback is extremely important. Thank you.

Got a box of these coming in tomorrow. Love this cigar. Never had any issuses in the past so hopefully that stays true. But they are a hand made product so anything is posssible .Its nice to know the owner stand behind them if there is an issue.
