Description
Illusione of Excalibur comes in a single 7.25x54 double corona based on the original Hoyo Excalibur No. 1, a favorite cigar of Illusione’s founder, Dion Giolito. This cigar is composed of Nicaraguan tobacco, including a corojo 99 wrapper from Jalapa, a corojo 2012 binder from Jalapa and criollo and corojo fillers grown in Estelí.
“When GCC asked me to do a collaboration and offered up Excalibur, I immediately jumped at the opportunity,” says Giolito. “In college, the Excalibur #1 Maduro was my go-to when I could afford them on a college budget. My buddy George and I would enjoy them after class or band practice. They were a real treat back then, and they still are to this day. For my part, I wanted to make a cigar in the spirit of Excalibur with a bold character and packaging that pays homage to the brand’s origins. I believe this blend really hits the mark.”
