One of our favorite aspects of the cigar industry is the cast of characters that lead some of today’s cigar companies. Some are reclusive and would rather focus on their craft while others are outspoken and ostentatious. However, they all share a passion for outstanding tobacco. Dion Giolito, Illusione’s founder, is what you might call a “super tobacco nerd.” He has a passion for seeking knowledge about different types of tobacco and how they work together when creating a blend. And he’s quite good at it too. It’s why Illusione has garnered a well-deserved reputation and accolades for creating cigars that are known for their balance and intricacy.
The Illusione Original Document is a breakthrough blend by Dion Giolito. Dion created the Illusione cigars to re-construct a taste profile from Nicaraguans past. He set out to create a blend that was reminiscent of cigars made in Nicaragua before the Sandanistas took over in 1979. The result is a blend that has captured the hearts and minds of cigar smokers all over. Illusione cigars are made with a blend of first generation Corojo '99 and Criollo '98 seed tobaccos that are topped off with a gorgeous and oily, grade one Cafe Colorado wrapper. Illusione Original Document cigars are finished with a triple cap and are medium to full bodied with lots of spice, earth flavors and a long finish.
