Jan 22nd 2012 - Illusione Epernay

Today brings us the Illusione Epernay Le Monde in a 6 1/4x54 vitola. The Epernay is the second coming of the ECCJ 15 which was made by Illusione to celebrate the 15 anniversary of the ECCJ, European Cigar Cult Journal. The Epernay is another Nicaraguan Puro by Illusione. It has Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo tobaccos that are topped off by a Cafe Rosado wrapper. With the Epernay you'll get a dry smoke that is sweet, creamy and woody. It is as simple and elegant as it's name would lead you to believe. I chose this to be today's cigar as to continue yesterday's theme since I had nothing to tie into today and have been wanting to feature this photo for awhile.
