The Illusione cg:4 Maduro - White Horse is a unique cigar crafted by Dion Giolito, showcasing his expertise in blending tobacco. Departing from the trend of increasingly strong cigars, Giolito omits the ligero leaf, using only the second and third primings of the tobacco plant. The result is a smooth, nuanced cigar that earned the No. 3 spot on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2014.
Its old-school red, white, and gold band evokes nostalgia, complementing the cigar’s flavor profile. Rather than overwhelming with spice, it highlights subtler notes of sweetness, cedar, and a touch of earthiness, demonstrating the versatility of Nicaraguan tobacco. Medium-bodied and well-balanced, this cigar is ideal for any time of day. Comparable options include the Cabaiguan and Cabaiguan Maduro cigars.
