This was excellent. Traditional corojo flavors from this. Spiced earth, cedar and a touch of nuttiness. Slightly larger ring gauge than I prefer but this flavor really popped. Construction was great. Good draw and burn. Love the smoke output. Just a great overall stick. Would definitely smoke again. Another winner from Illusione. As always a great price from Oxford!

Great corojo flavor, nice draw and build. I like most of Dion’s stuff and these are great, but I wish they had it in a smaller gauge. Still, I’ll smoke it again.
