I think I'm hooked on these. I've had the ~88~ (robusto) and the ~2~ (belicoso) both are stellar smokes in my opinion, and the price is hard to beat on such a quality smoke. These are full to medium body smokes, with lots of earthy flavor. Construction is impeccable, with nice dark wrappers. I feel they are not very complex, but have excellent balance with loads of flavor.
I'm curious to hear what others think of this cigar and what violas you have tried. For those who have not tried one, I suggest you seek them out. Truly a must try stick.

the Illusione 23-Culebra looks prey cool.
I tried three of the sizes and what a great smoke, then take in the price factor and you got to love them.

Totally agree with that, I feel it is one of the best value smokes I've had.
I have a box of those, I got them for the last herf, but forgot them at home. I'll be sure to bring them for the next one.

Here's another smoke I've been hearing so much about and haven't yet smoked myself. I see they're listed as being sold at a shop 1.5 miles down the road from me. Perhaps I'll have to take my butt back in their even though I hate the staff. I'm looking to try that F9 myself or maybe that figurado...

I've tried the Illusione Culebras. It's good, but then Dion uses good Nic tobacco. I have enjoyed everything I've tried in his line.

I've had a couple of the 888 (churchills) and thought they were just everything a cigar should be . . . flawless construction, loads of flavor, asskickingly strong, good value for the $.
They had the full line in at TW here, but they disappeared pretty fast, lol.

One happens to be a particular member in Corpus Cristi, Tx and a regular of TW. Well NANP, can you find out what they have available, and what the box prices are?
