Illusione Epernay L'Ferme (5.25x48 / 5 Pack)

Illusione Epernay offers a refined interpretation of Nicaraguan tobacco, emphasizing a smoother, naturally sweeter profile within Dion Giolito’s Illusione portfolio. Named after Épernay, France, a municipality closely associated with the Champagne region, the cigar’s name reflects the blend’s intended emphasis on nuanced sweetness and fruit-like characteristics.

Handcrafted in Honduras, Illusione Epernay is a Nicaraguan puro, featuring Nicaraguan tobaccos throughout the blend. A light shade-grown Corojo ’99 wrapper surrounds the Nicaraguan binder and filler, contributing a softer character while complementing the richness of the interior tobaccos.

Generally medium-bodied, Illusione Epernay offers tasting notes that may be reminiscent of roasted nuts, dried fruit, cream, cedar, cocoa, and natural tobacco sweetness, accompanied by touches of gentle spice. The interplay of nutty, fruity, and chocolate-like nuances creates a layered profile designed to showcase a more restrained side of Nicaraguan tobacco. Individual flavor, aroma, strength, construction, and smoking characteristics may vary.

For adult cigar enthusiasts who appreciate Nicaraguan puros with a smoother and subtly sweeter profile, Illusione Epernay offers an appealing combination of Corojo ’99 character, creamy texture, roasted nuttiness, fruit-like nuances, and cocoa-like sweetness in a distinctive Illusione blend.
