Illusione Cigars OneOff

Illusione OneOff Corona Gorda

Blind Man's Puff · May 1, 2019 · June 2018

The OneOff brand was originally started in the early 2000’s by Cigair Lounge operator Andrea Molinari. The original idea was to get his own brand own brand of Cuban cigar, when that failed, he turned to the Plasencia family in Nicaragua. From there, in 2004 it was acquired by Cuban Crafters, and in 2017, Dion Giolitto of Illusione Cigars purchased the brand. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. This new version, as with all other Illusione cigars, is made at Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA). It is a Nicaraguan puro and uses Aganorsa tobacco. At launch it came in 7 vitolas: Canonazo (6 1/8 x 52) — $16.95, Cartuchos (3 7/8 x 52) — $11.95, Corona (5 1/2 x 42) — $12.95, Corona Gorda (5 3/8 x 46) — $14.95, Julieta (7 x 47) — $17.95, Pyramides (6 1/8 x 52) — $16.95, and Robusto (4 7/8 x 50) — $14.95. Shortly after the launch of those, the +53 Super Robusto (5 3/4 x 48) — $30 was released with a “slightly different” blend. The phone prefix for Cuba is +53 leading to speculation that it contains Cuban tobacco. The cigar is regular production, but was limited to 120,000 at launch.

OneOff Canonazo by Illusione Cigars

Cigar Coop · Sep 9, 2018

It was a brand that achieved a cult status in the marketplace. Eventually, the brand fell dormant and pretty much disappeared from retail shelves. It […] Key flavors: Earth, Cedar, Classic Wood, Black Pepper, Natural Tobacco, Graham Cracker, Cream.

Illusione OneOff Robustos

Cigar Dojo · Apr 10, 2019

Being one of the first cult-style cigar blends in a time where boutique offerings didn't carry the level of respect that we see today, OneOff seems to be the perfect match to Illusione's "Not Industry Standard" approach. While the experience is without plot twists and (unfortunately) any sign of a signature "it factor" element, OneOff manages to balance zesty pepper and salted browned butter magnificently. This makes for an enjoyable experience that teeters the edge between refinement and stalwart balance.

Illusione OneOff +53 Super Robusto

Developing Palates · Dec 24, 2018 · August 2018

The first ultra premium price tagged cigar out of Illusione. The big question of course is, is it worth it? At this point in time, I'm afraid not. But the Illusione OneOff +53 Super Robusto absolutely has the potential to be great down the line.
