The mj12 was rated 91 points by Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Insider in 2009, and delivers medium to full body strength. Professional reviewers report complex flavor profiles including red pepper, candy-like sweetness, creaminess, coffee, cocoa, various malt variations, pear, raisins, nuts, nougat, and butter. The mj12 takes its name from the Majestic 12, an alleged group of elite scientists, military leaders, and government officials formed in 1947 by President Harry S. Truman to investigate UFO activity, and is part of Illusione's "Original Documents" series. Each cigar is uniquely packaged in silver foil wrapping which represents the alleged material from the 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, NM. The cigars are made from tobacco grown in the Somoza fields of Nicaragua and were blended to replicate cigars from the pre-Sandinistas era of the 1970s, with master grower Arcenio Ramos of Cuba overseeing the crop to ensure quality. Reviewers consistently praise the cigar's perfect balance and long finish, with complex flavor and aroma profiles that maintain interest throughout the smoking experience. The cigar has maintained market presence for over a decade, indicating consistent quality and consumer appeal.
