<\/a><\/p>\nIllusione is the creation of one Dion Giolito, who hails from Reno, Nevada.\u00c2\u00a0 There has been some controversy about the names of the vitolas that Dion has created.\u00c2\u00a0 Some people were saying they had hidden meaning and conspiracy theories were connected.\u00c2\u00a0 These theories were put to rest though when Dion came out and stated exactly what each name represented.\u00c2\u00a0 This is what he said about the ~hl~:<\/p>\n
~hl~ – The Holy Lance<\/strong> I have reviewed the ~68~ and ~888~ in previous posts but due to a generous (Stinki) BOTL I now have had the opportunity to review the ~hl~ Holy Lance cigar.\u00c2\u00a0 An excellent presentation is delivered from this vitola.\u00c2\u00a0 Just like the other vitolas in this line it has a great smell of cedar and dark chocolate.\u00c2\u00a0 Construction is flawless.<\/p>\n The cigar was clipped with my Xikar Xi and the foot was toasted.\u00c2\u00a0 The first 3rd had an almost floral flavor with some light chocolate.\u00c2\u00a0 The burn was razor sharp as I continued to puff on this delicious cigar.\u00c2\u00a0 The cigar was milder on the palate than the other illusione vitolas, but still delivered with ample amounts of flavor.\u00c2\u00a0 The second 3rd and last of the cigar still produced a razor sharp burn and more chocolate and a bit of anise.\u00c2\u00a0 I would recommend this cigar to any of you lancero fiends or anybody who likes a very flavorful smoke.<\/p>\n
\n“My Lancero , the lance. Get it? Constantine was the first Christian Emperor to lead Rome. It was fabled that he had possession of the very spear that punctured the side of Jesus while on the cross. He was said to carry this relic into battle and, it was said that it helped him win his many battles. It is an artisan blend and, the mildest of all my cigars.”<\/p>\n
