Cigar Origin
Honduras

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.

Way before he got into the boutique cigar business, Dion Giolito, founder of Illusione cigars, was a huge fan of the classic Excalibur #1. Years later, Giolito was given the opportunity to work with Justin Andrews, of Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG), and to develop a blend that honors this legendary cigar. Thus, the Excalibur Illusione was born. Their collaborative effort resulted in a Nicaraguan puro that features aged Criollo and Corojo tobaccos and captures the spirit and smoking experience of the original. The Excalibur Illusione is handmade in Nicaragua.
Cigar Origin
Nicaragua

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.
