Any try the rereleased Singulares? Are they comparable to orginal releases? The OG Phantoms were one of my all time favorites.

Illusione is one company that, in my opinion, has given up on quality control... the epernays haven't burned straight in about 4 or 5 years...

and the latest MK Ultras do not compare with those from 2012-2014, one of the best Illusiones I've smoked. Haven't tried any of the latest Singulares, but did smoke an amazing aged Annunaki, that I believe you (Euodias) sent me (along with a bunch of other great smokes) in exchange for a bottle of whiskey a few years ago...

My local quit carrying Illusione, only ones I’ve got online are Haut 10.

Recently the QC seems to be more hit n miss than ever in the past, I also had an interesting conversation online with Dion about the original HL maduro wrappers and he insisted they were always SA. Oddly enough I’ve had better luck with their larger RG cigars than the thinner ones .

once in a while I look around for their candelas but haven't seen a deal in a while.
Hope those haven't slipped in quality since my last purchase.

I have a box of the hL candelas. They’ve been spot on. I’ve sent a few out. Not sure if anyone else has any feedback. I think I’ve only had 3 out of the box. They were all as expected

The Haute 10 I have are perfectly constructed, but that is the only Illusione box I've bought in the past few years. I was more wondering about blend consistency, but now ya'll got me worried.

I've bought quite a few boxes recently of various Illusiones from our fine Budapest CC vendor and been very happy. Can't say I've had any of the Singulare though.

I’ve scored a several maduro fivers of various Illusione from the other place in the past year or so.
No complaints........as good as they have always been imo.

Funny timing,I am smoking my first illusion right now. It's a Illusione Prive SA Maduro Robusto I grabbed as a single. It's a nice smoke, not the most complex flavors, but nice. Can't say I would run out to hunt these down again, but it's enjoyable.

Picked up a 5er of cg4's... first 2 had problems staying lit so I put the rest away for a short week and a half nap... currently 1/3 of the way through the current one and I've had to relight 6 times... wrapper seems a bit fireproof...
