Illusione will add a Mexican San Andrés version of the ~68~ (4 x 44) size. Pricing is the same as the regular ~68~, $6.50 or $162.50 per box of 25.

This becomes the sixth size of Original Document, the name the company gives to its core line, to be added to the Illusione Maduro line joining the ~hl~ (7 1/2 x 40), ~88~ (5 x 52), ~888~ (6 3/4 x 48), ~cg:4~ (5 5/8 x 46) and ~mj12~ (6 x 54).

Like the rest of the Illusione Maduro the ~68~ Maduro will use a Mexican San Andrés “capa fina” wrapper. Giolito told halfwheel the cover leaf is selected for its appearance and ability to not overwhelm the filler components.

The cigar is available to all Illusione accounts effective immediately.
