Any MJ12 fans out there? 🤔

Look more like mj12 maduro.

Just too big for me, but I do like them. The HL maduro is my favorite, with the R, and fume de something or other.

Yep, MJ12 maduro in toro, 6 x 54. I didn't know they would come with a black covering like that.

I had seen something about MJ12 previously, I forget where exactly, but it piqued my interest and thought I'd give them a try.

Yup, good smoke. BS, you've got the life of Riley out there! I always check out your pic posts. How about some shots of the island or the famous Vets Hall?

Delicious smoke. But when did they start putting them in cello? Didn't they use to come wrapped in a silver foil-paper?

MJ12 Maduro has the black paper wrapper. Regular MJ12 comes in the silver. I can't remember if the Ultra had any special wrap. When you open a box of MJ12, the top 2 (I think) layers have the extra paper wrap. The ones below are naked.

MJ12 is one of my favorites in all versions. Great cigar. Never disappoints. I like all the Illusione regular line, but for me the MJ12 is the best vitola. Come to think of it, I have yet to meet an Illusione I don't like. 🤔

I could smoke the illusione '88' maduro one after another. The near $11 price tag will prevent that but Rothschildes are only $5 each. I can live with smoking them instead. 😰

Didn't like the maddy version as much, still a good smoke, just liked the original more. Never have picked up a box though, which is odd, just 5'ers here and there. I often think you could smoke just the Illusione brand exclusively and not miss much of anything.

MJ12 never disappoints. Never had the maddie, but I would assume a similar experience there too.

Thanks for the clarification. Haven't been to a B&M in a while.
Still don't remember the MJ12 being served in cello.

If I remember, tomorrow I will take them out of the plastic bag and check out the black covers and strip one down. I don't think they are in cellophane, unless the black stuff is cellophane. I'm not there right now, so can't check it out.

Man that's gorgeous, but it came with a price didn't it?

Laying here awake at 3am because my RHS is hurting in my ear again. It's either the beach pics or the oxy but it's not hurting near as bad now. I'd like to think its the beach pics. 👍

Thanks for sharing.

I gave one to a friend a while back and he thought I had given him a Cuban. I guess he didn't look at the wrapper before he lit it up.
