This Illusione Ultra OP No. 9 (Toro) was love at first puff!
Sweet earthy tobacco flavors of coca, leather and mocha coffee with a fruity spicy retrohale kept me wanting more! The only complaint I have is the “high maintenance” factor as has been reported by many other cigar reviews… this specimen needed several touchups for an even burn.
Am I still lovin’ this cigar?… You bet! I can’t wait to smoke it again and again and again!

Today was my first time with the Illusione Ultra OP No. 9 (Toro) and I became an instant fan!
The luscious chewy smoke from the Ultra OP No. 9 definitely put this cigar in the “Favorites” category having hit most of my flavor checkboxes… I can’t wait to smoke this again!
From the first Perfect-Draw came toasty earthy tobacco flavors and a touch of dark chocolate and leather. I had to make a couple of touchups on the burn, but other than that, the Ultra OP No. 9 is probably going to be a staple in the Cigar Rotation.
