Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Illusione Singulare Origen Gordo opens with a refined medium-bodied profile, delivering an immediate blend of sweet cedar, toasted almond, and light cocoa accented by a delicate honeyed sweetness that sets an elegant, inviting tone. The retrohale introduces soft white pepper, baking spice, and a touch of citrus zest, adding brightness and lift without overshadowing the cigar’s core flavors. As the second third develops, notes of roasted cashew, vanilla cream, and light leather emerge, supported by a subtle earthy backbone that anchors the sweetness while maintaining depth. The final third transitions into smooth coffee bean, warm oak, and a faint dried apricot note, finishing long, clean, and subtly spiced.
