Welcome back to the states, Dale! For the record, the Brown label Tat Regios is the most complex nc I have ever encountered.

I think the Illuisone 88 is the best size, but everybody is different. Hope you picked up some larger size Illusione and not just the 68. I know you have already picked out your cigars but if you make it by another shop try out the Padilla Miami Robusto. Its a great Nicaraguan puro and made in the same factory as the Illusione.

Not any more. The Padilla is made in the Padilla factory in Miami. They were only made in Honduras for a short time while the factory was built.

My understanding is he doesn't have his rollers yet, and if he does he just got them recent, so the ones on the shelves are not from his Miami factory. Besides even if they are its still the same blend from Fernandez no matter where its rolled.

Too bad it's not the Pepin blend that put them on the map. Can't give the new ones away at the shop.

I love the new Miami in the Robusto size, can't get enough. Problem is its not the Pepin blend as you said, people are bias because of that. I would be more then honored to have a cigar coming from Tabacalera Tropical factory!

I agree, they are good. Just not what many have come to expect. I love the Mombacho Thermonuclear made by Tropical.

I smoked a Tatuaje brown label and another Illusione tonight. The Tatuaje was damned nice. While I at first thought the Illusione wasn't doing it for me, it really grew on me. I don't think it's as complex as the Tatuaje, but it did make me think I will buy some more before I go.
I'm enjoying exploring the 'forbidden fruit' for me. These either aren't available or are prohibitively expensive in London.
