Illusione Candela

Smokes nice and easy only problem I had was that it likes to go out from time to time

I like this cigar and always have been a fan of Lonsdale and or Lancero sizes. What this candela wrapper lacks is that sweet grassiness of a candela leaf, which is why I enjoy them. Other then that, it's a well made enjoyable cigar. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the classic characteristics of a candela wrapper

Do not rush this experience, as it is an very slow even burning true Candela experience; Every puff has an easy draw yielding generous amounts of smoke that does not irritate the eyes and the tip does not smolder; Consistent flavors and aroma throughout that of mellow to medium notes of natural wood, earth, and wild grasses, accented off and on with subtle notes of both light leather and tingles of white pepper; Light aftertastes of the same barely linger afterwards; The last third starts to lean toward bold medium and is richer in flavor and aroma while still retaining consistency; No bite throughout; The entire stick lasted well over two and one half hours! I like to enjoy this cigar when I want to totally relax for long periods of time without any cigar aftermath what-so-ever; This gem ages in an dedicated White Tail Glass Top Humidor all by its self; Humidor: 73% @ 83.2F;

Very grassy flavor. Unique to say the least. The flavor gets better on the last third.

TrueType a great example of a double claro cigar. Aging in my humidor since 2011, the cigar provided a perfect burn along with exhibiting the finer aspects of this type of wrapper. A clean vegetal and tobacco flavored experience was provided.
