"Dark indeed, but lacking in complexity"
Flavors of dry, dusty earth and cocoa beans, somewhat similar to a JdN Antano. Gained more strength on the second third, faintly resembling a MUWAT.
Draw was a little hot.
This wasn t impressive to me like the Epernay series.
Burned for about half an hour.

"Fantastic short smoke"
Very complex for such a small cigar. Excellent draw, no burn issues. I picked up a slight taste of burnt peanuts, hay, and fresh tarragon in the last 1/2 (a first for me). I paired it with Ardbeg Alligator and it was quite the experience.

"Awesome little smoke!"
This is a great petite corona. Great replacement for Short Stories, Party Shorts and the like. Awesome flavor as with most other Illusiones. I love these cigars and keep coming back.

"Rich smoke, spicy draw, even burn"
Well rolled cigar, very even burn, spicy draw with peppery hints - a nice rich, full-bodied smoke.
