Illusione Maduro

The Illusione Maduro is the dark-wrapped counterpart to the Original Documents cigar—Illusione's first cigar. As the yang to the Original Documents' yin, the Illusione Maduro cigar showcases a similar tobacco recipe at its core, swapping the Corojo wrapper for a luscious San Andrés maduro cover leaf.

Each of these cigars can be a little tricky to navigate for newcomers to the brand, as the bands feature cryptic number/letter combinations instead of the cigar's actual name (e.g. 88, hl, cg:4, and mj12, among others). These are actually the names of each size in the lineup, which are coded messages, tying into the conspiratorial theme of the Illusione brand.

Illusione Maduro was once crafted in Honduras, but has now migrated to the fan-favorite TABSA facility (of Aganorsa Leaf fame) in Estelí, Nicaragua. The blend includes Nicaraguan Corojo '99 throughout the filler, a double binder of Nicaraguan Corojo '99 and Criollo '98, and a Capa Fina-grade San Andrés maduro wrapper. All told, this concoction amounts to equal parts balance and flavor, offering a medium-full body and rich flavors of black pepper, freshly roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, nutmeg, and cream through the finish.
