Now here's a nice little prize! Illusione puts this little guy out for $3.99 a stick. This size is perfect for when you just don't have a few hours to kill, but want a premium smoke that you don't have to smoke halfway and leave sitting on an ashtray. I'm not one for relighting cigars that have been sitting for more than a few minutes, but not everyone's like me. This cigar is nice and leathery, with a deep brown-colored wrapper. Some veins are visible, cause, well... leaves have veins, don't they? I'm still in the habit of opting for the punch cut, so I removed a circular piece of the cap, toasted the foot, and dove right in.
1/3: Woodiness is the first flavor I pick up on. It's pretty heavy at first too. Then comes the cocoa.
2/3: Milk chocolate catches my attention at the beginning of the 2nd third. There's creaminess present, and the draw is quite good. At it's strongest, this cigar is medium-strength so far.
3/3: In the final third, the Rothchildes is fuller, bolder, and slightly meaty.
At this price point and size, I've purchased a handful of these little sticks and enjoyed them throughout the summer. Good stick and at good price. Go get you some!
