When Al and I met at Marty's, there were a few boxes of cigars on the counter that I'd never seen or heard of previously, illusione one off.. I'm a big fan of illusione, so when the guy said these were "nothing like other illusiones" I should've passed... Instead I talked Al into getting one...
Sorry Al... At least in terms of the one I had, it was 2/3 awful... First third actually wasn't bad...Then it went out, and then continued to go out every 10 minutes or so... The tightrope between over-drawing to keep the thing lit and under-drawing to prevent it from getting harsh was thin as a spiders silk... Kinda reminded me why I don't try new cigars often...
But right now, I'm at the shop I was at last night and discovered Tatuaje nuevitas jibaro... Never noticed them before but apparently this place just opened their second box... Half way through and I'm a big fan...
