Illusione · Non-CubanOriginal Documents

When Dion Giolito introduced Illusione over a decade ago, he promised that his cigars would be different – and he absolutely delivered. The brand’s trophy case is spilling over with a bevy of 90+ ratings and a few Top 25 appearances, so different adequately describes this brand in the best possible way. Today, submitted for the approval of enthusiasts everywhere – an exceptional blend from Illusione that’s garnered Top 25 Cigar of the Year honors not once – but twice. Original Documents is a rustic looking beauty with Nicaraguan Criollo ‘98 and Corojo ‘99 all packaged up in a Rosado wrapper. The result – a long ride through flavor country with notes of oak, black pepper, leather, and cocoa.
