Illusione 88 or mj12??

larryinlc · 06-27-2010, 08:44 PM

I've been smoking a few Illusione 88 cigars and I like them quite a bit. Since I smoke only one cigar per day, I wish they were a little longer. Longer like the Illusione mj12. Has anyone smoked both of these and could you tell me if they're the same other then size?

I've heard the 88 is a more robust cigar than the others. I have one mj12 in my humi, and I almost took it to a herf today. I'll have to smoke it soon and let you know!

Glad you're enjoying the 88s!

I should just buy a box of the 88's. They're very good. The five inch length does not equate to short burn time either. They seem to be very well rolled which gives me a two hour smoke. Just about right for me.

I prefer the MJ12, but they are both awesome smokes.

another +1

I think they are both good cigars. The MJ12 is a bit more mild, but good flavors nonetheles. What about an F2, I think that's my favorite of his Illusione blends. You can also look at some of the larger Cruzados.

This won't really be help you make a decision, but I love both the 88 and the MJ12. NEVER had a bad Illusione.

Starscream · 06-28-2010, 07:55 PM

All illusiones are good, but I like the 88 better.
