Illusione Cigars Original Documents Candela
A daring green candela interpretation in Dion Giolito's iconic Original Documents lineup, this cigar is handcrafted at TABSA in Estelí, Nicaragua. Wrapped in a vibrant Nicaraguan Candela leaf over vintage Aganorsa long-fillers, it yields a delightfully unique medium-bodied smoke brimming with fertile earth, warm baking spices, baker's cocoa, supple leather, and Spanish cedar.

Cigar Aficionado · Aug 1, 2026
This dark Lonsdale draws evenly. Initial puffs are bready with cinnamon notes before intensifying to an oaky, spicy cigar hinting of cocoa powder and nuts. Oakiness recurs on the finish.

Halfwheel · Nov 26, 2020 · October 2020
I’m definitely impressed by what the Illusione ~cg:4~ Candela has to offer, which, in a simplified summary, is a different spin on what is still one of the staple blends in any humidor. I’d almost compare it to switching up the brand of spirit in your favorite cocktail; it still has some of the same key characteristics, yet the changes are there to be noticed as well. If you’ve been hesitant to smoke candela-wrapped cigars because of past experiences that have yielded an overly grassy or vegetal note, there is nothing to fear here as this cigar offers very little in that regard. There are some of those notes but they are much more supporting flavors rather than the stars of the show, and I would venture to say that you’ll find many puffs where they barely register on the palate, if at all. Whether the juice is worth the squeeze to you to pick these up is a personal decision, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you do.

Developing Palates · Oct 21, 2022 · 2010
The Illusione hl Candela started well, with a nice combination of flavors. The second third dropped a level as the flavor profile wasn't as dynamic as it was in the first third and maintained that level the rest of the way. This is probably one of the best candela offerings on the market, but with that said, it isn't a cigar I would come back to all that frequently.

The great Candela debate continues. It is time to review the Illusione 88 Candela. Earlier this year, Illusione cigars released candela wrapper versions of some of their popular cigars. At the beginning of March, Viaje cigars released their White Label Project Candela. I enjoyed the Viaje WLP Candela a lot – in fact, I even felt […]
