Classic Illusione, there’s some of the finest Aganorsa leaf in this medium bodied smoke. Lots of smooth baking spice notes with leather tones peeking in as the smoke progresses. Definitely a cigar worthy of a repeat purchase!

This is everything Corojo can be – full of flavor but medium bodied. Spicy and delicious without being overbearing.
