The Illusione Ultra is a powerhouse blend positioned as Illusione's fullest cigar in terms of strength and body. The blend is a Nicaraguan puro highlighted by Criollo '98 and Corojo '99 tobaccos with ligero from two different regions of Nicaragua, finished with a Corojo wrapper. The cigar delivers key flavors of natural tobacco, earth, wood, licorice, pepper, and Asian spices with full strength and medium to full body.
In 2022, Illusione announced a major portfolio restructuring that relocated the Ultra line to fall under the Original Documents line, with packaging now matching that of the Original Documents. The cigars are produced at Agricola Ganadera Norteña S.A. factory, maintaining the same blend as its previous iteration. As with all Illusione cigars, the Original Documents Ultra is produced in limited quantities to ensure each cigar's quality and consistency, offering a unique experience that resonates with both new enthusiasts and seasoned aficionados alike.
The Illusione Ultra was ranked No.6 on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 in 2017, cementing its reputation as an ultra-premium cigar. The cigar has serious chew, a fair amount of spice, and notes of earth and coffee. The complex smoke is enveloped in hints of spice, red pepper, molasses, earth, and espresso.
