Illusione cg:4

Kreth · 10-18-2009, 12:45 PM

Another stick from coastietech in the NST.

Humidor time: 2 weeks

Prelight: The wrapper has a few flaws and prominent veins. Prelight draw is moderate, tasting of coffee and leather.

Burn: The burn was very straight, with that nice welt along the burn line. Ash was solid. Draw was moderate. The burn time was about an hour.

Flavor: Great flavors: leather, coffee, cocoa, and pecan, with a nice spice finish.

Summary: Great burn, and very tasty. I'll pick up some more of these, and I look forward to trying some of the other Illusione sticks.

Nice review, my buddy had the 88 a few days ago while we were together and he said it smoked great, he mentioned a similar flavor profile to what you've got on this one. He had a little bit of a burn issue though

Maybe I had a bad stick, but I'm sticking with the 68s. The cg:4 that I had I put out a little past halfway. It wasn't horrible by any means, but very one dimensional and just a peppery tobacco taste to it.

Nice review. I like this stick and the 88 a lot.
