  Illusione TAA

  In 2006, Dion Giolito founded Illusione Cigars. It soon became a big hit with cigar aficionados. But, in all its years, the brand has never released a cigar for the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA) until now. In 2020, Illusione joined this prestigious organization that is made up of the top tobacconists in the nation. It consists of about 80 retailers and 40 manufacturers, which Neptune Cigars is a proud member of. To commemorate this milestone, Dion created the Illusione TAA and released it in 2021. It is a Nicaraguan puro that is handmade by AGANORSA Leaf in Nicaragua. The blend is based off a flavorful, full-bodied personal blend that Giolito developed. According to Dion, “… it has all the characteristics of an Illusione cigar …” The Illusione TAA is a limited-edition cigar only 3,500 of 10 cigars per box were made so be sure to order yours today before they become an illusion.

• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
