Quick Smoke: Illusione Singulare Phantom LE 2010

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

Back when I first reviewed it, I gave this annual release (every year the plan is for a new Singulare blend and size) from Illusione high praise. Since then, I’ve only enjoyed the cigar more, even picking up a second box before the 1,000 box run sells out. It’s a wonderfully complex, medium-bodied smoke, with cream, cedar, toast, and honey. With excellent construction, this is a cigar that benefits from, and deserves, your full attention.

Verdict = Buy.
