At the 2015 IPCPR Trade Show, Illusione Cigars owner Dion Giolito focused mostly on new line extensions instead of launching new brands. This year, one of the extensions comes to his regular production “Original Documents” line – introducing a 6 1/2 x 32 Ninfa offering into the line called the ~33~.
The ~33~ becomes the first line extension in quite a quite a while, but it is replacing another frontmark as Giolito confirmed that the Illusione ~23 Culebra is being discontinued.
The cigars will be packaged in 14 count box and will not have bands.
At a glance, here is a look at the Illusione Original Documents line:

Love this size for Habanos blends. Alas, very rare these days.
When the 33 draws/burns well, it is a decent alternative. Sadly about 1/2 do not draw/burn well. Hopefully Dion will fix this.

I like this vitola also
Unfortunately it’s extremely rare this day’s
I think Dion doesn’t make them anymore
You have had a construction issues with half box with those cigars?
