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.
