Light: Easy with a medium draw.

1st 3rd: Sweet & rich tobacco flavor. Oily. Not really any spiciness to it. Medium body. Full flavor. Roasted nut flavor. Smooth, but has a slight toothiness to it.

Ash: Medium gray with black waves. Fell off after ¾”

2nd 3rd: Again, a nice sweet flavor, tobacco. Kind of different from most smokes. Has a salty taste to it now and is slightly numbing my tongue. Medium to full nose exhale burn. Complex (to me)

3rd 3rd: More chocolaty now. Evolving. Almost a minty aftertaste. Very nice cigar.

Overall impression: In my brief introduction to the Illusion brand, this appears to be my favorite. Must….get….box….

Sounds like my type of smoke. Will have to get one of those ASAP:smiley20:

Another pleasant review. Not only do we get to read a review on a potential smoke, we get insight on what flavors to look, taste, and smell for.
Thanks!

Nice review!

Stellar review as usual Will.

One of my favorites Will. I have never met an Illusione that I didn't love. And the White Horse is one of the best vitola's IMO. You should try the f9 or the mk, next.
