are these just has good as the ahstonvsg illusion

All the Ashton Cabinet VSG's are excellent cigars, if you like them strong. Basically, the only difference is the Spellbound is longer and has a larger ring size (7 1/4 x 52), and therefore more expensive (MSRP~$15 each). That, and most web sites and tobacconists will limit you to a certain number (usually 2) you can purchase at a time, because they are limited in production and so hard to find. For my first one, I started with the smaller ones ... oh ... and how you doing, Frankie? Enjoy the holiday?

Better than the Illusion, the best in the line is the Belicoso No. 1, the Spellbound is a close #2. The only one not included in my opinion is the Enchantment because I still have not had this one yet, shame on me... 🙂

BTW ... the belicoso is in the sampler pack I emailed you about.

I like Belicoso's and need to try that sampler pack. In fact I will bid them up next time they are featured even though I know I can get them cheaper. The thrill of the hunt! Charlie
