Visited BURN by Rocky Patel in Naples, FL today (instead of going to the NERF... sorry guys). Smoked one of these and was served by a lovely bartender. Also had to snag a box o' 25 for home.Herfing

Hmmm I'll have to think about it. It's a damn good cigar. Much better than regular production illusiones.

I know that Dion likes to keep his production numbers low, but that seems _really_ low. 50 boxes of each? I think there are 3 sizes and 20 cigars per box, so that's only 3k cigars. That would be the lowest numbers than any of his limited/special releases.

50 boxes does sound low. My only guess is perhaps Dion made 50 boxes/vitola for the first run of these, as the humidor attendant did say its not a LE, it will be a regular, shop exclusive release...

Also, the corona and I found it hilarious to see how many fog 's and their wives walked in to Burn and walked right out, as they thought it was some sort of fancy-schmantsy restaurant...

Was it ever officially stated that it was only 50 boxes? Or is this just another one of those oft repeated assumptions / rumors?

I traded IUROX for three, so I could give two to guys I herf with who have illusione worship, I smoked the third one. It was very characteristic illusione flavors, a good cigar, but not an outstanding cigar.

50 boxes each size. When I was there last they only had about 6 sealed boxes in humi. But I know
A few folks have bought boxes since then
Hard telling. They taste like a large ring Eperany to me. Nice smoke

What are you referring to here?? IIRC criollo '98 and corojo '99 are strains of tobacco not specific vintages.

Straight from Dion (when I was doing my review)...

BMW, there are supposed to be quite a few cigars makers doing "Burn" cigars (AF, LP, Padron etc)...did you see any other sticks there like that?

Thanks!
