Smoke: Illusione Epernay
Drink: Yuengling Porter
Tunes: None

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium
Burn: Even
Misc: 60-75mins run time

Pre-light: Nice Colorado shade wrapper. Lightly veined with some sooty dark splotches. Light tobacco scent. Maybe a bit pungent. I’ll use a punch, as I’m not anticipating a mouthful of tar with this cigar. Slight sweet on the cut prelight flavor.



Light: Easy. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Slightly spicy, but a mellow spice. Smooth with spice, light sweet leathery / tobacco flavors, and an touch of oil. There is a floral like aspect too. I notice this on almost all Illusiones. Good flavors sofar.



Ash: Gray with dark gray scales. Stacks nice and holds on for about 1”



2nd 3rd: Developing into a more medium body cigar. Full flavors and some of the leather / sweet tobacco melding into a sweet rich woodsy flavor. Still some spice, but less pronounced.



3rd 3rd: Very much like the 2nd 3rd. Woodsy, creamy, medium body. Slight spice with flor notes and some tobacco sweetness.



Overall impression: You really can’t go wrong with Illusione.
