Illusione Cigars

The Nicaraguan puro, Illusione Epernay, boasts a medium body and a light Corojo '99 wrapper, delivering a delightful blend of nutty, fruity notes and chocolate sweetness. Handcrafted in Honduras by Don Giolito, this cigar offers a sweeter option compared to the original Illusione. Its name pays tribute to the town of Epernay in France and its connection to Champagne, capturing the pleasant and fruity essence of this smoke.

Translated as 'love smoke,' Illusione Fume D’Amour leaves no room for doubt about its name. Since 2005, this boutique gem has garnered numerous ratings of 90+ and has continued to improve with time, like a fine wine. Using high-quality tobacco and limited production techniques, Illusione has created some of the most sought-after blends in the market, including their signature Fume D’Amour. What sets this blend apart is the absence of ligero, a type of tobacco known for its strength and intensity. Instead, Illusione's masterful use of seco and viso primings results in a perfectly balanced, full-bodied experience that satisfies from start to finish. This unique blend appeals to connoisseurs with its refined notes that captivate the senses until the very end. It's no wonder Fume D’Amour was ranked as the #3 cigar of the year in 2014 and earned an impressive 95-point rating for its delicious taste marked by nutty cashew flavors, hints of nougat sweetness, and touches of baking spice.

Illusione cigars have enjoyed top-rated boutique status for over a decade now, thanks to the efforts of owner and founder Dion Giolito. His skill at blending the best tobaccos into balanced and complex smokes that cigar smokers love has earned him high praise. In 2001, Andrea Molinari, who ran a La Casa del Habano in Milan, Italy created OneOff cigars. Recently, Dion acquired these from Cuban Crafters and blended them to his own specifications. The result is Illusione OneOff - Nicaraguan cigars boasting full flavor, great construction and sure to please any true aficionado. These are made by Aganorsa Leaf’s TABSA factory in Nicaragua - the same factory that produces Wrapped, Viaje and other popular boutique brands.

Illusione is a boutique brand that has earned the distinction of being #7 in Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2007. Its creator, Dion Giolito, was striving to recreate a vintage taste profile. Thanks to the legendary grower Arsenio Ramos from Cuba and his collaborators Fernano, Chandito and Cuban agronomist Jacinto, these old Somoza fields from Jalapa Valley and Esteli region have been neglected no more! Now they are regrown to produce their highest quality tobacco again. All Illusione cigars are handcrafted from the original Corojo ’99 and Criollo ’98 seeds accompanied by grade one Café Colorado wrapper and sealed with a precisely applied triple cap. The end result is an exquisite smoke rarely found in the modern market; its quality further ensured by small-batch production. Aging them up only increases their flavor!
