With an increasing trend toward fuller-bodied smoking experiences, it's hard to believe that candela-wrapped cigars were once the most popular choice by American smokers. But Dion Giolito, owner of Illusione Cigars, hasn't forgotten; having a deep respect for the history of premium cigars, Giolito blended what is often considered the best candela cigar of the modern era: Illusione Candela.
The Illusione Candela cigar is based on the Illusione Original Documents cigar, featuring the same boxes and bands, as well as a similar interior tobacco recipe. This includes select Nicaraguan leaves of Criollo '98 and Corojo '99 throughout the binder and filler. This solid foundation is wrapped in a pale shade of AAA-Grade candela wrapper, offering a mild-medium body and an atypical flavor profile that will transport the enthusiast back to the rock-'n-rollin' 1950s. Cautious hobbyists can rest assured, as Giolito's palate is often considered the best in the industry, concocting a unique experience that boasts flavors of lemon grass, sage, sweet cedar, chamomile, and aromatic florals.

One candela to rule them all. If you are looking for what a candela wrapped cigar can be, look no further. This is hands down the best candela on the market and it isn’t close.
