Illusione Garagiste Gordo

Everything about the Illusione Garagiste screams “Not your normal Illusione,” from the somewhat monochromatic color scheme on the band to the obvious strength in the profile. While the blend is not overly complex at any point, the cigar is nicely balanced and obviously well-blended. However, the big story is the strength, which—while well integrated—is very obvious from the first puff. Although it is far from my favorite Illusione release—and not even my favorite Illusione cigar this year—the Garagiste is a very good cigar, and will be a welcome addition to those seeking a stronger choice in Giolito's lineup.
