A key goal of Ilusione cigars creator Dion Giolito was to “do the opposite of everyone else in the industry.” And he has definitely achieved this goal. One of their biggest achievements was introducing the concept of “full-flavor, medium-bodied” cigars. It was revolutionary when Ave Maria launched, but is now widely embraced in the cigar industry.
The Illusione ~cg:4~ White Horse Candela is unlike any other of
its kind. This Nicaraguan puro has a dense blend of criollo 98
and corojo 99 tobaccos resulting in an earthy tasting profile
with a sweet aroma. With only 500 bundles of 10 cigars available,
it's wise to take advantage before they're all gone - get yours

A true Nicaraguan puro with an oily, red-hued Corojo wrapper,
this medium-strength cigar is bursting with espresso, pepper,
nuts, and touches of hickory. Handmade in Nicaragua. This cigar
reflects the fine tobaccos from this Central American country
with its Illusione Cruzado.
New for 2016, the Illusione Garagiste cigars refer to a group of
winemakers in the Bordeaux region who produce “garage wines” and
are somewhat considered renegades for producing these wines. This
is the first Illusione blend that uses an Ecuadorian Habano
wrapper. Illusione Garagiste uses Aganorsa tobaccos and comes in
four sizes packaged in 20 count boxes.
In celebration of Illusione Cigars' 10 years as a leading
boutique brand, Dion Giolito of Illusione Cigars has created
Illusione Haut 10. It is a medium-bodied smoke with chocolate and
earthy notes.
In its 10th year, Illusione celebrates a milestone with the
release of a special small batch cigar by owner Dion Giolito. The
Illusione Haut 10, named after the French words for "top",
"grand" or "elevated", is an ultra-premium blend crafted at the
renowned TABSA factory using AGANORSA tobacco. The Nicaraguan
tobaccos used in this blend are carefully selected through triple
sorting, ensuring only the finest materials make it into the
final product. This specific blend focuses on seco primings,
which give the cigar its unique flavor profile. Comprising of a
mix of Corojo and Criollo tobaccos, the cigars are then wrapped
in "Grade AAA" Nicaraguan Cafe Claro Corojo wrapper. Available in
limited quantities, these cigars come in a variety of vitolas.
Illusione is a boutique brand that has gained recognition for its
outstanding quality, earning numerous high ratings in Cigar
Aficionado Magazine. Its creator, Dion Giolito, aimed to recreate
a flavor reminiscent of the past when Nicaragua was known for
producing top-notch tobacco until 1979 when the Sandinistas took
over. The Illusione La Grande Classe Rex cigar measures 4 7/8 x
40 and is available in bundles of 25 wrapped in gold foil. The
blend is a new one, featuring an Ecuadorian habano wrapper and a
combination of Nicaraguan tobaccos from the Jalapa region used as
both binder and filler. This results in a mild start that
gradually builds to a medium-bodied smoke with a rich and complex
profile, impeccable construction, and impressive balance. With
the Illusione La Grande Classe REX cigar, you can truly
appreciate Dion Giolito's masterful blending technique that hits
it out of the park every time.
Illusione Cigars, crafted by Dion Giolito, have made an
impression as the #7 cigar in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 of 2007.
His goal was to replicate a specific flavor profile from
Nicaragua prior to 1979 when the Sandinistas took power—bold and
clean cigars from prized fields in the Jalapa Valley and Esteli
region. To do this, Arsenio Ramos—a legendary Cuban master
grower—recultivated the old Somoza fields, supported by Fernano,
Chandito and Cuban agronomist Jacinto, forming a team with
expertise unsurpassed in tobacco production.
The Illusione Rothchildes San Andres cigar boasts a toothy and
meticulously aged Mexican San Andres wrapper. Complementing this
is a blend of carefully selected Nicaraguan filler and binder
tobacco, resulting in a bold and indulgent flavor that will
satisfy any cigar enthusiast. With its full-bodied profile, this
cigar is ideal for those seeking an intense smoking experience.
Whether you're unwinding with friends or celebrating a special
occasion, this cigar will leave you craving for more. The draw is
effortless and the construction is flawless, ensuring every 4 and
1/2 inch puff of this cigar is nothing short of perfection.

regarded in the boutique cigar world. This is due to the skill of
owner and founder Dion Giolito, whose knowledge of tobaccos
allows him to craft tasteful smokes appreciated by those seeking

eventually passed the reins of his cigar brand OneOff to Dion who
has since blended and constructed according to his own vision.

premier boutique brand- thanks to the expertise and dedication of

tobacconist in Milan, Italy established OneOff in 2001. In recent
times, this brand was purchased by Dion who began crafting it in
his own style. The result? A Nicaraguan smoke bursting with rich
flavor, impressive construction, and every chance of being

Illusione, a boutique brand, has secured its place as the #7
cigar in Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2007. Its creator,
Dion Giolito, set out to recapture a desired taste profile from
years past. In the pre-1979 era of Nicaragua, this small country
boasted some of the world's finest tobacco growths. These prized
fields in Jalapa Valley and Esteli region produced strong, bold,
and clean cigars. Decades of neglect have been overturned by
legendary master grower Arsenio Ramos from Cuba. Alongside fellow
experts Fernano, Chandito, and Cuban agronomist Jacinto, Arsenio
has formed a literal "dream team" in tobacco production. The
once-humble Somoza fields have been re-cultivated to yield their
best tobaccos once again. All Illusione cigars are crafted at the
renowned Raices Cubanas factory using first-generation Corojo '99
and Criollo '98 seeds. These are then wrapped with premium Café
Colorado leaves and finished with a traditional triple cap. In
today's market, it is rare to find cigars that can match the
taste and quality of Illusione's products.
