As always, I was pleased to find my copy of the European Cigar Cult Journal waiting for me when I arrived home from work today.

Inside I was greeted with the info that Dion Giolito aka vudu9 had received "The Best Cigar Honduras" for his excellent illusione ~hl~.

In my opinion this is a well deserved recognition of how good Dion's cigars are, and wanted to bring it to my fellow BOTL's attention. Along with the reward announcement, in this ECCJ issue Dion was profiled as well.

Let me be the first of the CP crowd to congratulate you on your reward and also say that I hope one day to easily find your cigars over here in Germany to purchase and enjoy.

When I can, I make the effort to purchase from both the illusione and cruzado lines and eagerly await my first chance to try a epernay after being disappointed in finding all the ECCJ 15 (on which they are based) had been sold out as soon as they hit the shelves.

Keep up the great work and may the award you just won be one of many to come.

Shawn

P.S. And to those of you who haven't had the pleasure of reading the ECCJ or smoking one of Dion's excellent cigars, I highly recommend you do both as soon as you can. I personally just fired up my last ~68~ that I had been saving up for a special occasion in Dion's honor and it's as good as it gets when someone is looking for a premium cigar.

I like these all very much. I saw that same article. I really need to get some of Dion's other lines to determine if I like any particular size best, etc. All really nice tobacco. Oh, and the Drew Estates collaboration has me interested.

What are you smoking yours at, Wurm?

And if Dion is reading, Congrats to you! :thumbs:
Also, Dion, do you have any preferences for storage /aging / smoking??

Congrats, Dion and keep making great smokes. I love 'em all.

Oh, and for anyone else that was confused by the Honduras part like I was: "Illusiones are a Nicuraguan puro made in Honduras." :)

The one cigar I was most looking forward to trying in NOLA was the Nosotros. Didn't get the chance, though. I'm looking forward to the release. And the Epernay is awesome.

Congrats Dion,

I bought a box of the Holy Lances to bring to a Christmas party for folks to have as a treat, and I still have those guys asking if I have any more of those cigars... I do have a few, but I am not sharing anymore ;)

I'm in Reno today so I stopped by Dion's shop this morning. Bought a handful of cigars and said hello.

He's taller in person than he seems here on C-Pass. :laugh:
