When developing the blend for the Original Documents Habano cigar, Dion Giolito, the brand’s founder, didn’t want to create just another Habano cigar. He wanted to create something new and exciting. It is why he collaborated with master cigar crafter AJ Fernandez. To create the blend, AJ dug into his stash of proprietary of Sun-grown, Habano-seed tobacco for the wrapper. Then, he expertly blended it with a Nicaraguan binder and filler made of premium leaves from three of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco growing regions: Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa. The results? A full-strength, Nicaraguan puro that offers a delectable smoking experience. The cigars are handmade at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Nicaragua.

The Illusione Singulare is an annual limited edition cigar, which offers a different blend with each release. Due to its popularity, Illusione’s founder Dion Giolito decided to create a regular production cigar that encompassed the best components from the Singulare’s previous releases. Thus, the Illusione Singulare Origen was born. The Origen cigar sports a AAA Grade Corojo Cafe Rosado wrapper placed over Nicaraguan binder and a Criollo ’98 and Corojo ’99 filler. This savory blend offers a potent but not overwhelming smoking indulgence. The cigar’s band features an owl with its wings spread high, which was inspired by the Egyptian Owl of Pharaoh Ramses II. Based on an ancient Egyptian legend, the owl was one of Pharoah’s favorite pets, who apparently once smacked the mighty ruler with its wings. The cigars are handmade in Nicaragua.
