Illusione Epernay Le Voyage Cigar – Box of 5

The Illusione Epernay Le Voyage received a 94-point rating and ranked among the top 3 cigars globally the year after its release. This Nicaraguan puro combines Corojo and Criollo longleaf tobaccos, with Dion Giolito’s signature blending style emphasizing balance. The cigar’s Ecuadorian Habano wrapper encases Nicaraguan filler leaves aged for optimal flavor development.

Illusione Epernay Le Petit

Measuring 9 1/4 x 49, the Illusione Epernay Le Petit uses the same Ecuadorian Habano wrapper as its larger counterpart. Nicaraguan Criollo and Corojo tobaccos form the core of its blend, with fermentation processes tailored to maintain combustion efficiency in smaller ring gauges.

Flavor Progression

• Initial Third: Wood and earth notes with citrus undertones
• Second Third: Transition to hazelnut and coffee with retrohale spice
• Final Third: Dark chocolate and caramel layered over cedar base

Both variants feature a double-seam cap construction ensuring consistent airflow. The Le Petit’s 49-ring gauge format achieves full combustion in 45-55 minutes, while maintaining the Epernay line’s hallmark ash stability. The blend’s Nicaraguan tobacco selection prioritizes leaves from Estelí and Condega regions for acidity control.
