If I filled in the blanks correctly on Dion's hint, the new Illusione is going to be a big cigar, according to the name. Anyone else think so?

how bout the first to get it right gets a box directly from Dion???


"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points."

I like this game where we volunteer Dion to give us freebies. Win. Big Grin

Dunno flyvice, what's your guess? Better get it up fast, since apparently it's worth a box of sticks!

Filling in the spaces, I get "Eternity In Flame". With that, I'm guessing maybe an A sized cigar.

Seconding the Wolfe; I too started out with eternity, but that darned extra letter kind of killed it...

I can't imagine it would be an "A" size, as the "1" vitola (f****n' awesome!) already exists, but who knows? No doubt it will be a "classic" size, though. This is killin' me!

Oops! I used a "trigger word" in my "pending post" Touchy, touchy! All is used was a "f" and a "n" with a bunch of ****'s Red Face

Anyway, what I was saying is I doubt it will be an "A" size, as the "1" vitola (flippin' awesome!) already exists. No doubt it will be a "classic" size, though. This is killin' me!

Burnie: My last post said the same thing until I edited it, but I now think you're right it's an l.

I know what it is and in fact I have smoked one. I have a few sitting in my humi that I just picked up. I talked to Dion yesterday and I promised him I will not post any pics of them until later and I think I will hold off on evening naming it. But it is a fantastic smoke. whenever they come out get some, you wont be disappointed.


"Remember you have to stroke that tobacco when you handle it, because the tobacco it is like a woman and it responds to good treatment."

I also have a few of these new Illusione cigars and will honor Dions wish not reveal anything about it. Hopefully Dion will be at his shop Saturday so I can talk to him some more about cigars.

Justin

P.S.- I have smoked one and it was great.
