Cigar News Items for June 04, 2008
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008I do have a couple of news items that I thought were of interest. We should be seeing some interesting stuff starting to pop up in the news now that the IPCPR Trade Show is just around the corner.
Cigar Links Edition 9: Illusione Cigars
Saturday, March 8th, 2008Illusione Cigars are produced in small batches to retain their high quality. This can make them a frustrating cigar to locate but when you do they are worth it. Another factor contributing to the fun finding this cigar is being listed number 7 in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2007.
Illusione No 2 Cigar Review
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Illusione cigars are made only in small batches. While this can make them very frustrating to find, the attention to quality is obvious when you pick up one these cigars. The Illusion No. 2 is a short torpedo with dark reddish brown wrapper and a nice heft to it. The draw on each one I’ve smoked has been perfect, just enough resistance to keep you from rushing it.
Interview with Dion Giolito
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Dion Giolito opened F U M A R E in 2004 and eventually developed the Illusione line. Anyone that has smoked one of his cigars can attest to the fact that these cigars are produced with a passion you won’t find in many of the bigger companies.
Illusione Cigars Website Review
Friday, February 8th, 2008I’ve been meaning to review the cigars from Illusione for awhile now, but every time I’m smoking them I get so wrapped up in smoking the cigar I forget to take notes. I’m going to start off by taking a look at their website and we’ll focus on the cigars sometime next week.
