I was given the project of setting up an event for Illusione cigars. When I was down in New Orleans I had a chance to talk with Dion Giolito about it. Well we set up an event for September 25 with our broker and I then called a friend over at Illusione. I got a call today saying it is 95% positive that Dion Giolito himself will be in our place for the event! It should be a huge day for us and a lot of fun.      

Very cool.  

I still have to try the Illusiones.  Are they as good as the hype?

I would say yes. Better ask Mountedshriner about them.

They are HANDS DOWN, my favorite cigar! Which one? ALL OF THEM!! I have already started whinning and sniveling to my wife about the fact that I am out of Illusiones  I am preparing her for a big hit on my CC when the Illusione man drops by Tim's B&M. Cigars are so subjective, but for my $$, Illusione's cannot be beat. You won't be disappointed Jason. If you are, just send them off to me and I will pick up the tab. Hey Tim, PM me when the Illusione moon is in it's proper place in the heavens and we will talk.       Thanks Tim!!

I'm going to take that as a yes they are good  

Anyone that would like to make an order for the event can PM me with what they are looking for. I am not sure on the deals at this point but you can be sure you will get a signed box with a purchase.

Wow, congrats!

I have had only one, and yes, it was Awesome and recommended

As most of you know, Illusione's are my favorite smoke. I just want to say that the upcoming Illusione event at Tim's B&M this Friday (9/25) is a great opportunity to try these wonderful cigars. I know that here in California they are almost impossible to find and they sell for a premium when you do find them ($2-$3 over suggested retail). The great thing about Tim's event is that for every five Illusione's you buy you get a freebie thrown in. Therefore if you buy a box of 25 (20% off by the way) you end up w/a free five pack of your choice. Tim is super about shipping them out and taking care of all the details. Regardless, these are great cigars and I hope everyone gets the opportunity to try them soon.  

Thanks Dennis but the box discount is 10%. I was able to get you 20% because you got 3 boxes. I really appreciate it. Also, anyone ordering will get a 5-pack for each box so in your case it will be 15 free cigars(almost another box). Also it is a great opportunity to get a signed box as Dion doesn't travel very often. This is the first time he has been in the Midwest and we are honored to have him in-house.

Sorry about the misinformation Tim! OK fellow herfers, but three boxes and you get 15 cigars for free, great bonus. With the 3 box discount you are WAY ahead of the game and in possession of some of the finest cigars available anywhere! Pushing these cigars doesn't benefit me in the least but I am just anxious for my fellow CG members to try a great cigar! A signed box by Dion Giolito is just icing on the cake. Thanks for taking the time to follow this thread

Today is the day! A few Geeks have shown interest and I appreciate it. If anyone else wants to take advantage of the event special shoot me a pm for all information.      

Here are some pics from what was a great night!

Great pics!  (what's w/the monkey statue??)

The monkey is kind of like a mascot near the computer. It hold the cutters we use at the shop for guys smoking there.

That looks like it was a good time.  I can't believe you got Dion to pet your monkey!
