Thanks Dion. Appreciate your info & love your smokes.
My 68's have grown smoother with more flavor after 3-4 months rest. ECCJ is great out of the box, but I want to rest them for a solid year + to see how they develop as they seem to have more subtle complexities.
Cruzado has started to arrive from the factory. It is in Miami right now being packaged. I'll probably have them in my wharehouse, ready to ship in about 12 business days. The only size that will be late is the Marelas (perfecto) which should be here in about 3 weeks, maybe less.

I have smoked 3 cigars from this box (Oct 15 2007)..The first one when i bought the box and the first 2 inches bout blew my head off then settled down a wee little bit..
The last one i smoked bout 2 weeks ago..still very bold at first but what came after was pretty damn nice...it will be nice to see what these are like on Oct 15 2008(their b-day) and beyond..
Update....The 68's have been in my humi since Dec 07....And all i will say is... if you don't have some of these cigars aging in your humi you should....What a cigar...Bravo Dion....

I just tried an Illusione for the first time a couple days ago; "cg:4" and then I had a "2" tonight. Both were great, the 2 had such an amazing draw, I dropped my jaw like a brick! Great smokes, thoroughly enjoyed it. Liked them enough to burn my fingers at the end!
Quick question...well, dudumb mb question...what is the difference between the white/black label and the white/gold label? Gold = full body? I picked up an "mk" but have yet to light it.

Had my first last night the f9 it was. Great cigar loved it from the beginning, only issue was the last inch or so got pretty bitter, but otherwise great. Will definately be buying some of these when my humi has space and I have money.

First Illusion tonight - 88. I really enjoyed it throughout up until the end when it got a little too bitter. Definitely want to try more in the future!

Had my first 68 last night as well. Maybe it was hype, maybe it was the Guinness I was drinking, maybe it was my buddy smoking one of my favorite Tatuaje's next to me, but I was really just not that impressed. Flavor profile changed little through the cigar, and was generally a dull smoke. Should I let this age? 68 just not as good as the others? I've had one of the Culebras which I really enjoyed (although one of the three had horrible draw issues) but the 68 was a let down...

Last thing that I saw was a post by Dion on another site saying that they would start shipping this past Friday. My local B&M did not have them today...
