Easily considered one of the best cigars being produced today, the Illusione Epernay, created by Dion Giolito, is a balanced and nuanced smoke blended to be sweeter and slightly milder than the original Illusione line. Awarded the #3 spot of Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2011 list, these Nicaraguan puros combine the finest shade-grown Corojo ’99 Rosado wrapper and choice Corojo and Criollo filler tobaccos to deliver an excellent medium-bodied smoke. These cigars are produced in the venerable Raices Cubanas factory, which is also considered one of the best in the industry.
