Nice cigar and sweet ride.....something is throwing me off from the picture though. is that an aftermarket wheel tire setup? The tire  looks really narrow for some reason. could be a filter or just my old man eyes. Just curious. 

 

 

Thanks.  And no, that is the standard OEM AMG 20 inch wheel.  

The picture was taken at .5, so there is some distortion at the top and the bottom.  My feet are distorted in that pic. Does it look the same to you in the second picture?  That was taken at 1, so there should be no distortion.

Would love to hear your impression of the RG CE. I have had 1 from a 2001 box and found it outstanding.

I'm a huge fan.  Thoroughly enjoyable cigar. 

If I'm not mistaken, the consensus seems to be that these are very light bodied cigars.  That has not been my experience, at least not with this vintage.

2018 SLR Regios. Inspired by the SLR PC review from @El Presidente and Ken. This box of Regios is just firing on all cylinders right now in the stone fruit dept.

Ah man, that's a bummer. I have smoked a lot of those and while I have had some really excellent experiences with that smoke ( I also like that vitola) there have been some real milk toast paper tasters. I'm sure youre partial to Cubans, but I might respectfully recommend a joya de nic Numero uno as something that's similar to what that epernay should have been. Or.... Maybe try another epernay, or a haut 10. As a recent convert to CCs I admit they seem to the best. But there's some non cc stuff that's certainly worth smoking. 

Just tried the other Illusione I had. Singulare Kadosh. Pitched it too. Just one dimensional. Peppery air. Really strange how they’re rated so highly. I hope i just got duds. Lit up a Monte MC to salvage the night. Much better.

I’ll give your recommendations a go though.

This has been my experience with Illusione as well....bland, one-dimensional smokes

[Ford2112]

I smoked a few Illusione Epernay L'elegance and I liked them a lot. But that was quite some time ago. Perhaps the blend isn't what it used to be.

I figured it was OEM. I think it was just a weird angle exacerbated by the .5 issue. Drive on!
