Cigar Aficionado · Jan 1, 2008
If you don't read Cigar Insider, CIGAR AFICIONADO's sister publication, you may have never heard of the brand Illusione. All nine cigars in the line were rated in an August issue of the newsletter, and all but one size scored 90 points or higher, about as impressive a debut as we've ever witnessed. The Central American cigars are powerful Nicaraguan puros with quirky names. The cg:4, which measures 5 5/8 inches by 46 ring, has balance as well as strength, with sweet leather, nuts and cocoa on the palate. The cigars are the brainchild of Dion Giolito, owner of the Reno, Nevada, cigar store Fumaré. Giolito doesn't own his own factory, but the Illusione brand is small enough that he can visit Central America to testsmoke each batch of new tobacco before it is made into his cigars. Production was recently shifted from Nicaragua to Honduras. Consistency is the tough trick to the cigar business, so the real test is ahead for Giolito—maintaining the impeccable quality of these cigars so they live up to the early ratings

Kaplowitz · Aug 21, 2020
Mocha | Leather | Spice I'm no Kabbalist but picture the Tree of Life. Now picture it as a flavorscape. Now lettuce address this cigar. B I G stuff in the Keter. Heavy, rounded, balanced notes: mocha chocolate-coffee swirling, a supple yet thick leather, a dusty Southwest spice rack made of staunchly-structured cedar. Finishes on long legs of mainly shekhinah notes but I get ahead of myself. See the shekhinah? It tastes like evolving happenings. Toasted caramel, roasted orange, kasha (buckwheat)

Agile Cigar Reviews replace what we termed “Assessment Updates”. The concept is the same, but the name is different. Agile Cigar Reviews use a lightweight, shorter format. These will never take the place of our comprehensive reviews. They are only used on blends we have previously assessed. This might be a blend we are re-scoring […]
