The Illusione Epernay Serie 2009 was introduced in 2008 as a limited release for European Cigar Cult Journal. As it garnered high ratings it became a regular offering for the Illusione brand, created by Dion Giolito, a Nevada retailer. With its combination of Criollo and Corojo tobaccos, and a superior Cafe Rosado wrapper, the Epernay is floral, creamy and complex. This boutique cigar is made with all Nicaraguan tobaccos at the famous Raices Cubanas factory. The cigar has earned #3 on Cigar Aficionado's Best Cigars of 2011 listing.

Cigar Origin
Honduras
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Honduras, a Central American country which shares a border with Nicaragua, is widely known in the premium cigar industry as the ideal place to grow Cuban and Connecticut seed tobaccos. Danli and the Jamastran Valley is considered the heart of Honduras’ cigar industry. The Jamastran Valley is known for producing a full-bodied tobacco that draws strong comparisons to the tobacco grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba. This same region is also known for its Connecticut shade grown and Corojo shade grown tobacco. In addition, Honduras produces Cuban-seed sun grown filler tobaccos of the highest quality.

Wrapper Color
Colorado Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Colorado maduro wrapper is milk chocolate brown.
Wrapper
Nicaraguan
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan cigar wrappers are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Wrappers grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro wrappers are all produced in Nicaragua.
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
Raices Cubanas
Raices Cubanas, aka Fabrica de Tabacos Raices Cubanas S. de R.L., is a premium cigar manufacturer that was founded in 1974 by Hugo Endemano. Located in Honduras, this family owned-and-operated factory produces cigars for well-known brands such as Alec Bradley, Illusione, Padilla, Di Fazio Cigars Corp, and Viaje.

Wow, quality

Stephen L.05/20/2024About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Buttery smooth. Honey. Graham cracker. Cedar. Leather. Elegant. Draw and smoke output significantly improved on the back half. Medium bodied.

David C.05/20/2024About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Each Epernay has a nuanced flavor. Beside the Epernay 10th anniversary this is May fav.

Patrick H.05/02/2024About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Old school solid cigar. Cubanesque!

Sean P.04/19/2024About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Good

Joe W.04/02/2024About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

Lit up with a session without time constraints considering it's a large vitola. Visually it's a nice wrapper leaf with tight seams and minimal stems. The band is very subtle, glossy white and embossed gold. Crown cut. Flavors are hearty cedar, sweet cream, toasted almond and a salty pretzel finish. Burn got a little uneven. There's some nuances reminiscent of coffee cake in the first third. Second third needed a purge and touch-up, burn never really straightened it's act out. Draw was okay and flavors were more of the same. Right at the halfway mark a chewy caramel joined the mix. Final third, a lot of the flavors seem to fall off. Cereal grains and a bready finish take over. Burn needed help. Overall based on size, I don't see the time commitment being worth the experience to pick up again. Spent 2 hrs with it.

Onca03/30/2024About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

A full stick with good flavor and aroma

Julius S.02/15/2024About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Lovely unique taste. Like taking a Cuban San Cristobol and making it lighter with some exotic spice floral notes. Paired well with coffee and medium peated whisky - Caol Ila 25. Tended to burn uneven, causing taste imbalance. Touch it up and it's back to wonderful!

Nicholas A.12/30/2023About: Illusione Epernay L'Alpiniste 6"3/4 * 56

Grass, hay, earth and strength

matt S.12/27/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

IMO, this is the perfect cigar. Medium bodied, moderate sweetness all the way through with maduro notes of dried cherries/raisins, toasted almonds and an overall creamy undertone. Unbelievably smooth, perfect construction. Truly just a superb smoke.

Jorge H.12/27/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Glad I tried Illusione cigars. they are so far all really good.

Jorge H.12/27/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Great, smooth, and easy to smoke.

David C.12/14/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Good smoke

Thomas H.12/10/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Monde 6"1/4 * 52

I've had quite a few of these that have had problems with unraveling, it's an easy fix with a little cigar glue but slightly annoying. It is a very 'traditional' tasting cigar. I think it's meant to try to replicate some Cuban cigars and it actually does a decent job. Middle of the road medium body and strength, very balanced and pretty delicious. I highly recommend.

Nathan B.12/08/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Excellent cigar but a bit too mild/light for me.

Tight draw, but as close as a non cuban can get to taste like a cuban

Hyunwook H.11/27/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

great smooth stick. a gem.

Aundre E.10/23/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Had some spice early but transitioned nicely

Matthew A.10/12/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

A great looking box cut cigar that burned beautifully from start to finish. Very good cigar and worth the rating.

Matt M.09/25/2023About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

Flavorful without being overwhelming. Very approachable cigar.

Deborah F.09/22/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Great smoke and even burn!

Michael H.09/09/2023About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

It’s a really good cigar. I expected a little more complexity but overall an enjoyable cigar.

Ken J.08/23/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

I lit this up yesterday afternoon sitting by the pool. Great draw. Probably one of the best draws I’ve experienced. The flavor is outstanding through the whole cigar and it ends with a wonderful sweet taste. Highly recommend. Will be be buying more of these.

Colin D.08/03/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Fantastic cigar, perfect for the morning with a hot cup of coffee

very looking forward to try this amazing ciagr

Steve M.05/16/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Good draw/burn. I’m getting leather and pine with a slight sweetness. They talk about a fruitiness but I’m not tasting it…

Francisco T.05/09/2023About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

Very rich earth flavors.

Bob P.04/25/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Delicious!

clovis k.04/11/2023About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

Many years ago I used to love the Epernay by illusion in about a 48ring size but this cigar was a big disappointment. I had recommended it to a friend and did not mention my displeasure with this cigar but to see what he thought. He also thought it sucked.This is maybe a $4.00 cigar at best.

Marcin P.03/22/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

One of my favourites.

Joseph Ciechanowski III03/21/2023About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

My favourite of all Illusione blends. It’s a very refined cigar; subtle, smooth, creamy, nutty, slight leather and cedar. This is a “must try” if you haven’t and “buy more” if you have.

Drew S.03/16/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Not a bad cigar, but didn’t make my favorites list.

Frank L.03/04/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

first time great surprise definitely again

Alexander G.03/03/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

My favorite so far from Illusione, excited to try more from their portfolio!

Johnny B.02/21/2023About: Illusione Epernay L'Alpiniste 6"3/4 * 56

What a smoke!

shihi p.02/12/2023About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

Hazelnuts, walnuts, sweet chocolate, cream, smooth cigar.

Edgardo M.02/10/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Great cigar

David G.02/03/2023About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

Great light cigar , for when you don’t feel like something too heavy.

Ben J.01/13/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

A fairly mild corojo, not much spice. Sweet with some floral notes. Aroma was nothing special, but not bad. A decent middle of the road stick.

Kevin Link01/01/2023About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

I’ve only had a few different Illusione cigars and they were all very good but this one was exceptional!! One of the best looking rolling jobs of any cigar I’ve seen. Packed very tight but the draw was perfect for me, open with a little resistance. I’d say med, med-full and very complex, I don’t usually say this but this is for sure a cigar that you’d be happy to buy by the box!

Levi L.12/15/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Great sweet taste

Vito G.12/14/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Monde 6"1/4 * 52

As good as a Cuban. Smooth with full of flavor

Mark L.12/12/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Monde 6"1/4 * 52

I love this cigar! Sweet baking spices and medium full body. Complex and delightful!

Vito G.12/09/2022About: Illusione Epernay L'Alpiniste 6"3/4 * 56

This is a Cuban cigar disguised as a boutique. It's outstanding.

Nelson E.11/30/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Nice mild cigar. I found it similar to the Macanudo but a little better.

Z11/22/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Great creamy smoke

Franz B.11/16/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Monde 6"1/4 * 52

A good cigar. Veiny, rustic appearance. Draw not bad, just a bit tight. Good smoke production, and mainly an even burn, Although required one or two touch ups along the way. Nice aroma, and decent taste, slightly sweet. Light body.

Ivon10/23/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Monde 6"1/4 * 52

The construction of this cigar is impressive. While I was trying to get a looser draw with my perfect draw the top split (wrapper and binder) down to 3/4" very close to the band. I tried to light it up unsuccessfully ... bullocks! out of desperation I cut off down almost to the band and 1 inch of the foot. It didn't unravel and the inch I cut kept burning for another 10+ minutes (applause). The flavors were earth, nutty, hint of sweet vanilla, light leather and aged tobacco. This cigar has proven worthy of respect and a must try ??

Sam S.10/16/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Not my favorite.

Lin c.09/16/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Milky, oatmeal cookies, medium strength good smoke of illusione

Vito G.09/10/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

I swear on a blind test you would think these are cohiba habana Full flavor and smooth. No bite!!!

JC09/06/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Very smooth smoke; often sweet and a certain degree of complexity. Would buy more

Thomas V.09/05/2022About: Illusione Epernay La Vie 6"3/4 * 56

Very good cigar

Brandon L.08/23/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

I love these with a morning coffee. Great taste, flavour.

Peter L.08/03/2022About: Illusione Epernay L'Alpiniste 6"3/4 * 56

Pleasant smoke, doesn't get to the level of a Padron No.1

Jerry R.07/05/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Quality mild and smooth cigar. Slight burn issues halfway through but a minor problem for me. Keep 1 or 2 in the humidor for sure.

Josh C.06/29/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Overall a pretty good cigar

Nicholas V.06/26/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Just ok in my opinion. Pretty light bodied with not much flavor. I prefer the Original Documents line over the Epernay.

Seung Joon L.06/19/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Solid stick

Laurie B.05/19/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

I was excited to smoke this cigar again, but this cigar was dry, and had a hard draw.

Darryl F.05/16/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Monde 6"1/4 * 52

Great complex medium bodied cigar with nice sweetness.

Francisco T.04/26/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Nice cigar and amazing aroma.

Anthony P.04/22/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Purchased this purely on its ratings, so glad I did, a medium cigar with complex flavours, floral with hints of honey just Fabulous

shawn p.04/20/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

The aroma is the only thing good about this stick has a vanilla like scent. Otherwise it’s absolutely filled to the brim with nothing but disgusting black pepper. This is one of the worst cigars I’ve ever had in my life. Using excessive pepper to fill a cigar is a lazy shortcut. Shameful.

Johnny B.04/13/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Love this smoke!

jon c.04/12/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Wish it were a little more complex but it was a nice mild sweet flavor and burn/construction were perfect.

Jeffrey S.03/09/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

A good everyday smoke.

Stephen S.03/04/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Have smoked this one before and am very happy with it.

Theodore Z.02/28/2022About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Ladies and gentlemen pull up your favorite chair sit down and relax. This full-bodied gem requires some time to fully enjoy and appreciate the slow even burning packed with slightly sweet aroma and flavors of earth and leather that dominate gentle overtones of dark chocolate and roasted nuts! If you are desiring, or if you are searching for, an smooth, hardy, full-bodied smoke with no bite or peppery aftermath, and delivers gentle notes that are slightly sweet without hindering the pleasures of full-bodied cigars, and where each puff yields generous amounts of smoke that do not irritate the eyes, then this is it! You have found it! Enjoy! The last third is an full-bodied experience that you will not forget, and will keep you coming back for more! Thank you NEPTUNE for offering us such wide varieties of cigars.

Arrived with a cracked tip. Still tasty, but disappointed. Had to completely wrap my lips around it to cover the crack, felt vulgar. Good aroma. Last 1/3 tasted great. A little too light of a smoke for me. Checking out the Illusione Maduros next.

Medium body complex smoke. Nice sweetness to the corojo wrapper. Hard to resist a box.

Super rich and nutty top notch chocolate

Raul/ Erica .11/22/2020About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

I love it...... better get this box and keep in stock. Comes with fruitiness sweet moist flavors and no relights

Mark A.11/20/2020About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Great draw, creamy woody opening, aroma note of sweet baked goods, picks up in body and strength to medium in last third, more pepper comes in but well-balanced and not overbearing.

Karl K.11/17/2020About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

A classical cigar, but in a dated grandfatherly way. Pre-light sensations: On the nose, the Illusione Epernay is remenicient of hay and faint silage. Soft and pliable, it has the familiar squaredness of a box-pressed cigar but only at the foot. I took issue with the color described on Neptune as Colorado Maduro. I found the fine wrapper a more Colorado Claro than anything else, if even a bit toward Claro. Illusione's own description is more in line with what I saw. The softness nearly came to trouble when it came time to cut. I nearly crushed the cap in before my plug cutter seated. The 46RG was a breeze to light with a slow matchstick method and burned evenly thoughout. The ash did not cling long or hard to this stick. I had a half-inch's worth fall into my lap in mid-conversation. A rare thing in my experience which I attributed to the soft construction. Not an overly strong cigar, so anyone looking for a heavyweight should inquire elsewhere. But while mild is certainly no sin, I thought the flavor was one-dimensional. Earthy, dry, and woody in a grandfather's tobacco sense. I didnt get any of the nutty/chocolate sweetness described by Illusione. The first smoke was against my usual backdrop of Crown Royal Reserve. For me, a cigar will usually bring out more of the sweetness in that drink. I was practically begging the Epernay to do so, but she did not yield. The bright spot for me was on the lips. A velvety, emoillient, feeling, no doubt a result of the shade-grown wrapper. The smoke that lingered seemed to stifle and bring the room down rather than liven it up. Can smoke go stale instantly? It seemed so to me. Overall I don't feel I agree with the magazine ratings on this one. I know mag ratings aren't everything. I tried real hard to like it and maybe this time my expectations got the better of me. But at 11 bucks a single and a 94 seal from CA could you blame me for expecting a little more? **Second stick*

It's hard to beat the price point of this cigar. It seems to suit everyone's taste profile and may be the most consistently enjoyable cigar in my humidor. It never disappoints!

Emanuel P.07/04/2020About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Good cigar, just not as good as I remember it being.

Frank B.06/30/2020About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

This stick was just okay for me. The second third was the best, I did pick up a little nutmeg. Over notes were sweet wood and floral. The draw was on the tight side, the burn was so-so, and it went out twice. Won’t be going into the rotation.

Lee L.06/22/2020About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

I haven't had a bad Illusione Epernay yet, in any size. Truly an exceptional cigar.

Ivon02/28/2020About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Construction was perfect. This is a very good cigar, primary flavors were on the woody side. I was expecting a more "sweet" profile. However, not meeting that expectation can not take anything away from this cigar. It was enjoyable.

Stephen S.02/24/2020About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

George H.12/22/2019About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Nice cigar, but too strong for my taste

Ernest M.12/14/2019About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Perfect draw, starts off peppery and becomes creamy and smooth. I typically like lighter cigars, but this was easier than I expected to enjoy. Of note, Neptune does a fantastic job with delivery !

I prefer cigars with a larger ring gauge but this cigar does not lack on the flavor. Because of the smaller gauge, I felt that I was sucking a bit harder than usual. Very friendly tasty.

Overall an excellent cigar, with flavors of leather, spice, cedar, and some resinous burnt pine toward the middle. Lost a few stars on burn as it went sideways twice, but only required one touch-up.

Carlos Y.12/17/2018About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Very good aroma and taste before lighting. Nice start, mild, chocolate flavors and sweet notes. 2/3 needed adjustment with lighter, and drying slightly the mouth. 3/3 disappointing, irregular burning needing to light again, warmed up and more dry mouth. I could not make it to the end. I did not understand the rates 94 and 93, but I'll try the other one I bought to verify that it was not a problem with that particular unit.

Chris M.12/14/2018About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Steve B.01/11/2018About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Don't understand the 94 rating. For me, this was an uninteresting smoke lacking any complexity. Heavy leather taste throughout... quite boring. Spend your money on something else.

Marian P.01/06/2018About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Expectations probably too high. Too soft first third, a bit too mild with less complexity.

Really great first cigar of the day. Medium bodied and excellent smoke

Alan W.12/03/2017About: Illusione Epernay Le Grande 6" * 46

This is the type of cigar I go to when I want a change of pace from dark flavored maduros. The Aganorsa tobacco used creates a unique taste that has some spice and a tangy note, sourdough being the most prominent. Highly recommend!

James S.10/06/2017About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

cigar worth trying I think I to smoke a few more to truly appreciate but from just one its up there just didn't knock me socks off

Benjamin M.06/15/2017About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Well made and relatively enjoyable for a $10 stick. Not very spicy, but definitely some depth of flavor. Got a little hot in the final third. Not sure I would buy again, but worth a try. The 93/94 ratings seem high based on my 1st sampling. I'd say more 88/89.

I had the Epernay about a year ago and it really did not blow me away. I recently had a chance to try it again and had a completely different experience. Both times I noticed that the construction was solid, appearance is nice, understated with only one simple band to let you know what you have in your hand. Flavors of cinnamon are very present with an earthy balance that really pulls it all together.

Bruce C.05/15/2015About: Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5"1/4 * 48

Excellent cigar. Great construction with a creamy smooth wrapper no veins firm not overly compacted and enjoyable smell. The burn was superb. I set the cigar down for two extended periods of time with out it going out. The evenness of the burn was razor sharp. The draw was excellent. Taste was woody and spicy on the tongue with a light dryness. The aroma was very pleasant with earthy and woody scents. The burn never gave up even smoking it to a small nub. Some pepper after the final third. The ash was solid and fell when I chose to tap the cigar. A pleasant medium strength. A great value, I will definitely buy again.

Fantastic aroma & taste. Great draw. Very unassuming looking stogie but really great. Definitely one of my top 5. One complaint might be that it's a bit of a fast burn if there is such a thing. Just wanted it to last a bit longer.

VREZH K.09/24/2014About: Illusione Epernay Le Grande 6" * 46

Truly a elegant smoke! Unique aroma and taste. Bursts in flavor with complexity without a overpowering strength.

Gerard T.09/10/2014About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

Starts with a smooth, yet strong pepper and leather flavor with something sweet. Gets stronger in the in the second half if you like spice with some espresso flavor, this is a good choice.

Brian B.09/06/2014About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Great cigar!

Eric F.08/22/2014About: Illusione Epernay Le Taureau 5"1/2 * 56

Great flavor. I tend to see some draw issues with these. Much more draw issues with the longer sticks though.

Eric F.08/22/2014About: Illusione Epernay Le Matin 6"1/2 * 46

I have a quite a few of these in this length with very tight draws. If I had it to do over, I would've bought a box of shorter sticks. Usually if I'm going to spend one hour plus on a cigar, I would go for something a little nicer. They do have great flavor.

Maybe I got a bad one. I stored it correctly in my humidor for over 3 months after buying - but mine had extremely uneven burn issues that never corrected itself and the draw was so loose it was like sucking air through a straw. I had to manually try to correct the burn quite a few times, but it came right back. I had to re-light once. The flavor was nice and balanced - no pepper and no spice, so if you like mild this is great. But with the burn and draw issues, there are too many others in the price range.

One of the best cigars I ever had.

Brian V.07/19/2013About: Illusione Epernay L'Alpiniste 6"3/4 * 56

By far one of my favorite sticks. Taste is superb and aroma is even better. One of my go to cigars for any occasion.

A well balanced cigar for those that aren't into spicy or strong flavor. In my opinion this cigar should have tied with the La Aroma in Cigar Aficianado's Top 25 2011 but both are great and are both currently in my humidor.
