Illusione

Illusione is once again embracing the idea of secrecy and mystery for its newest line, the Group of Five. As the band says, whispering tongues are treachery.

While the company has thus far declined to disclose many specifics on the blend of the 5 x 52 limited edition, Illusione has said that the cigar uses a type of tobacco that hasn’t recently been grown in Nicaragua. In addition, the company noted that the tobacco had been “Primed and bale aged” for three years.

The company had been distributed by Illusione for the past two years. Now, the company will be handling the fulfillment of its orders.

Both cigars measure 5 x 52, are made by AGANORSA and have an MSRP of $16.95. Blend-wise, they both include a type of tobacco that hasn’t been grown in Nicaragua in recent years.

A few months later than originally expected, the new Epernay packaging is heading to stores. Don’t worry, the blend remains the same.

My list of favorites includes the predictable, something that will require your imagination and something that requires a bit of luck.

Epernay, now featuring a swan.

Epernay is now graced by a swan.

Whispering tongues are treachery.

Get out your red pens, it’s grading time.

Originally announced with an August ship date, the Illusione PCA Exclusive 2023 is beginning to ship to stores this week.
