Illusione's Epernay series originally debuted in 2008 as a limited release blend, but was resurrected and in 2009 due to its popularity. The brand is named for Épernay, a major champagne producing region in France. Its unique blend of Corojo and Criollo tobaccos in a Rosado wrapper brings out coffee, honey, and floral notes, ending with a creamy finish that any serious smoker will appreciate.
