Illusione Rothchildes Connecticut is the latest offering from the beloved Illusione Cigar Company down in Nicaragua. While not much is said about Illusione, they know their cigars, and the history of this ultra-premium boutique brand speaks for itself. Over the years Illusione Cigars have collected dozens of accolades, including numerous 90+ ratings and even a spot on the celebrated Cigar Aficionado Top 25. Now, following up their hugely successful Rothchildes line, Illusione introduces Rothchildes Connecticut. This blend consists of a spicy Nicaraguan filler and binder blend combined with a vintage Connecticut wrapper leaf. This golden brown leaf is heavily aged and imparts truckloads of flavor to the blend, putting a pleasant twist on the original Rothchildes blend from Illusione.
In proper boutique cigar fashion, Illusione Rothchildes Connecticut is beautifully crafted and features a smooth, heavily-productive draw and a sharp burn. Initial notes of cedar and honey open up for a gorgeous flavor profile of earthy, spicy raw tobacco mixed with hints of cocoa and nutmeg. A sweet finish beautifully ties together the medium-full-bodied bouquet of amazing complexity.
Illusione is the epitome of a high-end boutique cigar company. From the beginning, the good folks at Illusione aimed particularly at an experienced crowd of connoisseurs wanting superior quality. Rothchildes Connecticut is by no means an exception. Medium-full-bodied, this 4 1/2” x 50 Petite Robusto packs quite a punch and pairs well with bourbon or scotch for a sophisticated experience. Fans of the original Illusione lineup will take a particular liking to Rothchildes Connecticut, as well as those who may have enjoyed the original Rothchildes edition. Years in the making, Illusione Rothchildes Connecticut proves to be a standout stick among the cigar snob crowd for years to come.
