Illusione 68

Starscream · 03-16-2009, 10:57 AM

I've heard a lot about Illusione cigars, but never tried one. I purchased the 68 while visiting the Tinderbox at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC. This was an awesome cigar.

Upon lighting, I immediately detect sweet flavors. This cigar is sweet and smooth in the mouth. But when you "snork" (through the nose) this cigar is full of power and spice. The smoke was smooth and sweet, so I didn't think that the cigar was too strong. But after I finished the cigar and stood up, I felt it like a punch in the stomach. This cigar is definitely full-bodied. This cigar also reminded me a lot of the PAM 64 Prinicpe, but easier on the wallet. This is now one of my favorite smokes.

Would I buy this cigar again? Definitely!

This wasn't the best review in the world by far, but I wanted to put a good word in for this cigar.

One of the best Illusiones IMO. Good things come in small packages!

This is my favorite Illusione, your review summed it up very nicely

How timely! I just had a bombed one last week! My first cigar in like 3 - 4 weeks! I liked it but Andy, you better stop your dieting...I didn't get the buzz on this little guy like you did! Thank you for the review!

I really enjoyed the only onew of these that I smoked, very sweet and although it felt very firm the draw was perfect and it lasted an awful lot longer than what I thought it would be for being such a little fella. By far the best Illusione I've tried so far, and on par with a Trini Reyes and Short Story for enjoyment. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review.
I haven't tried the 68, but I haven't had a bad Illusione yet.

Just smoked another one last night. Not quite as powerful, but an excellent smoke. Like my initial review, it was sweet, spicy, and very strong. I noticed once again the similarities between this stick and the PAM 64 principe.
