Illusione Announces PCA Exclusive 2023

For the second time in its history, Illusione is creating an exclusive cigar for the annual PCA Convention & Trade Show.

The Illusione PCA Exclusive 2023 is a 6 x 50 toro that uses tobacco from Honduras and Nicaragua, though the brand has not said which tobaccos will be used for the wrapper, binder and filler. Most Illusione blends are made at AGANORSA’s Agricola Ganadera Norteña S.A. factory, but the brand has a long history with Raíces Cubanas, a cigar factory in Honduras that will make this cigar. While Illusione has been making cigars in Honduras for more than a decade, it’s not known for using Honduran tobacco in its blends. Raíces Cubanas also makes Illusione’s Epernay line.

Pricing for the Illusione PCA Exclusive 2023 has not been announced, but it will be limited to 795 packs of 10 cigars.

Illusione expects to ship the cigars in August.

The 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show takes place July 8-11 in Las Vegas.

Update (June 17, 2023) — As noted by Swag below, this is the second time Illusione has created an exclusive cigar for the PCA Convention & Trade SHow.
