Illusione Epernay
WRAPPER: Nicaraguan Cafe Rosado
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Nicaraguan Criollo & Corojo
FORMAT: Le Grande (Grand Corona-esque) 646
ORIGIN: Nicaragua
STRENGTH: Mild-Medium
NOTES: Epernay? More like Eper-yay! Front-loaded w/ a driving & buttery white pepper paving the way for a rich toasted cream w/ a slight citrus attachment. Truckstop coffee, white chocolate, nutmeg, car-a-mel, clover honey, nougat, ginger. Smooth as the once baby butt of the Baron Administrator of Cloud City. As complex as that imagery. Finish is long and sweet and leathery-oily. Draws evenly and cooly gate-to-wire. Burn-line is a razor. Ash clings to an admirably solid length.
