There’s a rarity for fans of the ninfa vitola, a new cigar is headed to stores.

Illusione 33

Illusione has shipped its new Illusione ~33~, a 6 1/4 x 32 take on the ninfa vitola. It’s the newest size in the company’s core line, known as the Original Documents, replacing the ~23~ culebra which was discontinued earlier this year. Previously, company owner Dion Giolito told halfwheel that the cigar was a Nicaraguan puro with a blend center around criollo-seed tobacco from a specific farm in Estelí, although there’s also corojo from Estelí in the blend.

Suggested retail pricing is $6.95 per cigar or $97.30 per box of 14.
