Illusione ~MJ12~

Beautiful construction, good pre-light draw.  Strong start leads quickly onto smooth, thick smoke.  Slight irritation in the back of the throat, but only lasted for a few minutes.  Retrohale gives notes of leather and a little bit of wood.  Perfect draw, medium to full body.

As I start the 2nd third, the woody flavor takes the lead, and the burn line has improved, although it certainly has not been poor. Chocolate is now evident, and the cone shaped ash I had initially experienced has corrected.

Bottom line:  Great cigar - definitely recommend!
