Illusione Epernay L’Alpiniste was meant to be a sweeter version of the original Illusione cigar by Dion Giolito. Illusione Epernay cigars are made with a light, shade grown Corojo ’99 wrapper from Nicaragua. The name Epernay is that of a Champagne town in France, and the association with Champagne is meant to evoque the fruitiness and sweet character of the cigar. Illusione Epernay L’Alpiniste has rich, nutty flavors and a complex quality paired with a chocolate sweetness that makes this cigar a truly delicious offering.

These cigars are produced in the venerable Raices Cubanas factory, which is also considered one of the best in the industry.
