Illusione Cigars Cruzado
A nostalgic tribute to traditional Cuban blends of the pre-embargo era, Cruzado is handcrafted at TABSA in Estelí, Nicaragua. Wrapped in a rich, toothy Nicaraguan Criollo '98 wrapper over select Aganorsa fillers, this balanced medium-bodied smoke unleashes nuanced layers of cracked black pepper, dried dark fruit, toasted nuts, supple leather, and dark roast espresso.

Illusione Cruzado Robusto
Cigar Aficionado · Dec 1, 2021
There is a bronze sheen to the oily wrapper of this well-constructed robusto. A lush draw and excellent combustion combine for a bold smoke full of espresso, hickory, black pepper, nuts and cocoa powder. The long finish smacks of barbecue.

Kaplowitz · Aug 27, 2020
Oak | Mocha | Spices Crisply lip-smacking. Weighty & bright w/ excellent depths. Oaky af and complexly-so, a sweet citrus addition there, as well as a buttery-flaky pastry thing. Vegetal nuances in a lush savory manner. White & black peppercorns gear up via progression. A mocha latte. Leathery oils. Big & bold and also introspective somehow. Gregarious while polite. The finish is a palate dampening moderate+ legged primary extension. Undertones are sweet-sour earthen notes... barnyard and grain

Illusione Domenicos Extra – gold foiled wrapped Illusione Cigars’ founder, Dion Giolito created the Cruzado blend back in 2008. It is a blend variation of the original Illusione core line. Both the Illusione core line and the Cruzado are Nicaraguan puros that utilize Nicaraguan Corojo and Nicaraguan Criollo tobaccos. From my understanding of […]

Illusione Cruzado Marelas Supremas
Halfwheel · Oct 28, 2014
The Illusione Cruzado Marelas Supremas was great back when I first reviewed it and it is great now. I love the vitola, the cap, the presentation and most importantly, the combination of cedar, espresso, creamy nuts and raisin sweetness flavors that are present. While not what I could consider extremely complex, the profile changed enough during the smoking of the cigar to keep me on my toes and the retrohale is quite smooth, even with the pepper that is present. Easily one of my favorite Cruzado vitolas and in the top ten of Illusione releases for me.
