"In typical Illusione fashion, the boxes and bands are encoded with mysterious markings and curious symbols. Giolito is tight-lipped about the meanings behind the packaging design. Perhaps there’s something subliminal in the logo that suggests the cigar’s up-front notes of espresso, hickory and black pepper, as well as its refined layers of nuts and cocoa powder. Or maybe, it’s just the tobacco."

More about the cigar:

Re-designed, re-packaged and re-imagined. Cruzado draws from the mystical.

B-E-L-I-E-V-E

The earthly and the not-of-this-earth. Houdini struggled with the concept of the afterlife. Did Houdini escape his toughest shackles in death? Were secret coded messages received and sent back from beyond the physical world? Illusione Cigars introduces 4 sizes, a short robust, robusto, gordo, and a Churchill. The blend is a combination of Criollo ’98 and Corojo ’99 tobaccos, and finished with a AAA grade Rosado Corojo wrapper. Made at TABSA in Esteli, Nicaragua.
