Illusione Rothchildes 5pk

Illusione Rothchildes  5pk
This cigar is an absolute masterpiece . The color of the wrapper, a delightful, earthy brown , is eye drawing. It shows minimal veins and a nice, tight, even firmness that gives it the character of a winner before you even light up. Pre-light there is a sweetness to the tobacco and a strong, clean tobacco flavor . The draw is clean and effortless, giving only a hint of resistance.

This cigar is an absolute masterpiece. The color of the wrapper, a delightful, earthy brown, is eye drawing. It shows minimal veins and a nice, tight, even firmness that gives it the character of a winner before you even light up. Pre-light there is a sweetness to the tobacco and a strong, clean tobacco flavor. The draw is clean and effortless, giving only a hint of resistance.

Let’s light up! Right off, there is a blast of dark cherry and sweet raisin. The cherry flavor being the aggressor and the raisin only as a hint in the background. This thing smokes—literally and figuratively. The retro is zesty in the nostrils, but smooth and cherry sweet. Charcoal grey ash and a nice, regular burn round out the first inch. I was excited to try this cigar from the outset and feel rewarded going through the first third, anticipating what might be up next with this little beauty.

Through the entire cigar, the flavors morphed. At one point, the dark cherry was highlighted, then abruptly a delicious espresso-mocha flavor appeared momentarily, that was swept away with a sweet cocoa.  The smoking experience was rewarding through every inch of this cigar! The draw stayed light and open and the burn continued evenly all along. The strength was consistent, hovering around a strong medium. I was never wanting for anything while I smoked this Illusione.
