  Illusione Singulare

  Illusione Singular EL (for "Edicion Limitada" or limited edition in Spanish) is an annual limited release by Dion Giolito.

The blend and size vary every year.

  Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

• Cigar Manufacturer
  Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A.

  Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (aka TABSA and Aganorsa Leaf) is a family owned and operated cigar factory. They make premium cigars almost exclusively from the family's own AGANORSA-grown tobaccos. The factory specializes in rolling cigars using traditional Cuban methods. New Cuba Corojo, New Cuba Maduro, Casa Fernandez, and JFR cigars are some the cigars they produce. They also make premium cigars for well-known brands such as the Foundation El Gueguense, Warped Cigars, and HVC.
• Cigar Wrapper
  Corojo

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Corojo wrapper was first developed in Cuba in the 1930s and quickly became popular as the wrapper on some of the best cigars. By the end of the 90s, Cuba stopped growing Corojo wrapper because of its susceptibility to pests and diseases. Ironically, Corojo wrapper has since become more popular outside of Cuba, as it has been replicated in tobacco farms in Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.

  Mexican San Andres Maduro

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
• Cigar Binder
  Nicaragua

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
