Illusione Cruzado

Patrick says:

"Spicy retro. Woodsy draw. Great bang for the buck. "

Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4 1/4 * 48, Box of 20

The Illusione Cruzado was originally released in 2008 as a medium bodied alternative to Illusione’s fuller bodied offerings. In 2016, it underwent a major rehaul and reemerged as a Nicaraguan puro with a very tempting, oily reddish Corojo tobacco wrapper. The cigar is hand crafted by Aganorsa Leaf in Nicaragua, and it is recognized for being indicative of the impressive tobacco that comes from this Central American country. It is a very box-worthy stick that should be part of every cigar enthusiast’s regular rotation.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
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.
Strength

Medium
Wrapper Color
Colorado
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Colorado is a medium brown color also known as EMS or English Market Selection as this used to be the color with more popularity in England than in America.
Wrapper
Nicaraguan Corojo
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan Corojo '99 tobacco originated as a wrapper leaf in 1999 in Cuba. The seeds of the original Corojo '99 seed were planted in Ecuador, and these in turn were transplanted to Nicaragua. The leaf is appreciated for its excellent wrapper qualities and spiciness.
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.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
Aganorsa
Aganorsa Leaf (formerly known as Casa Fernandez) is one of Central America's largest tobacco growers. Their factory, Tabacalera Tropical, is located in Esteli, Nicaragua and employs hundreds of cigar rollers.

Quality cigar.. would recommend. Slight burn issue but did not take away form the experience.

Ronnie P.03/09/2023About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

I love pretty much everything Dion Giolito touches. There's a reason they stay on people's best-of year-end lists.

Bradley D.12/14/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

Decent quick smoke

Jeremy H.11/13/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

Like Alejandro I also got a bit of tang in the beginning before this smoke turned peppery. Started fairly strong but mellowed to a strongish medium. Mostly coffee and pepper. Good draw and fairly consistent burn. I'm partial to the One offs but I liked this smoke from Illusione as well.

Trevor S.11/09/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

really interesting cigar, love the flavours

Stephen L.10/14/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

8.5/10 Peppery. Medium to full bodied. Similar flavour profile to Warped GR 1988.

Gary R.09/19/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

One of my all time favourites !!

Stephen S.09/15/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Churchill 6"3/4 * 48

Great cigar - would definitely buy again.

Mari M.08/04/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Churchill 6"3/4 * 48

The Illusione Cruzado features a corojo wrapper Grown by Aganorsa. It is an excellent example of a Nicaraguan puro…It shows in the wrapper, the aroma and of course the performance. Cedar, spicy, sweet, and natural notes is what I get right up front. This cigar is on point…A dash of pepper and hints of coffee to complete the parade of flavors playing in my palate. The profile is complex, well balanced, with lots of flavor and the perfect medium strength making for a very enjoyable smoke until this point. The flavors don’t change as I approach the halfway point, but the strength has gone from medium to medium plus. The earthy notes are upfront now, very rich and well balanced. Even though the pepper continues to be strong there is a unmistakable creaminess on the cigar, all the flavors colluded to make the smoke very pleasant and satisfying. The burn line is not as perfect as I prefer and I have a bit of a mess here…too flaky and does not hold more than half an inch but nothing major, just a small detail. I paired it with a Cuban Cafecito…nothing more than good things to report here.

JAO S.08/04/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Gordo 6" * 56

Nice flavor cigar,but hard draw.

Alejandro A.07/30/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

Sweet on the cold draw really tangy flavor at first light should be worth a box purchase

Nathan H.07/15/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

Great smoke!

Ed S.07/14/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

Great looking, tasty, well made cigar. Draw is a little firmer than I like but not a deal breaker. Will be getting some more of these to add to the rotation.

Patrick E.07/09/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

Great bang for the buck. Good construction, spicy retro and woodsy draw.

Eric S.07/02/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

I saw the score on CA and gave it a try…it was alright.

O'Shea B.07/01/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

Nice little cigar!

NICOLAS P.05/27/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

Solid smoke, not as fantastic as some other Illusiones I've tried. A bit of harshness in the first third but I would smoke it again.

samer i.05/12/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

A unique savory stick

Brandt W.05/12/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Robusto 5"1/4 * 50

Full Perfect burn Great flavor Very good

Charles N.04/17/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

Good aroma. Tight draw.

Noah R.04/14/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

When I was cutting this cigar I noticed the great construction and neat cap. Excellent burn time and tons of smoke and long burn time for the small size. Very smooth flavors for a medium-full smoke.

Junior S.03/06/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

Flavor bomb...

Alex S.02/23/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

Incredibly smooth for a medium-full strength cigar. Full of flavor. If not for some burn issues (3 minor touch-ups) this baby is a 5 star all the way.

samer i.02/11/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Short Robusto 4"1/4 * 48

Smokes longer than a short robusto

Mori D.02/07/2022About: Illusione Cruzado Churchill 6"3/4 * 48

Overpriced mediocre cigar at best.
