No, I wasn't actually there.  A friend of mine was at the cigar shop and sent me the photo on his phone.  Then I made him pick me up a couple of sticks to try. 

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b9af9f"I think he said they ran $6 to $7 a stick, depending on the size / shape - but I'm not sure.  Expected to be a full flavor, medium bodied cigar.

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b9af9f"I will pick them up tomorrow.

What's up fellas - Here's the skinny.

Cruzado is predominantly a Criollo blend with one component of Corojo whereas, illusione is predominantly a Crojo blend with one component of Criollo.

illusione exhibits a more earthy sweetness on the palate and in the olfactory.

Cruzado exhibits more leather and spice. These flavors come through more up front on the palate.

 

Enjoy -

I got the cigars in yesterday and was going to do a review last night but my camera was dead. So instead I smoked an Illusione ~F9~ to compare the two. I'll have the full review tonight.

I've smoked every size now and I think I like the petit corona and the corona gorda the most, though the figurado was also enjoyable!
