Illusione packed a decent amount of flavor into the Singulare 2011. I don't know if I would call the cigar totally complex, but it does have its moments. The first third begins with spice, which is later joined by cedar. Halfway through, the cigar remains spicy and adds sweetness and earth. The final third transitions to a tobacco flavor and closes out with more cedar and earth.

Is the Singulare 2011 one of Illusione’s best? Probably not. Then again, your mileage may vary, especially if you have an affinity for Illusione cigars. At around $10 per single, the Singulare 2011 is rather pricey. It is very limited, however, so if you enjoy Illusione cigars and want something that’s medium-bodied from the brand, give one a try. Look for it in packs of five or boxes of fifteen, which comes split with the next cigar on our review list, the Illusione Singulare 2012.

The Illusione Singulare 2011 earns a rating of 3.5 out of four stars.

Illusione Singulare 2012

Now that we have a review of the Illusione Singulare 2011 out of the way, it is time to take a look at its counterpart, the Singulare 2012. This cigar differs from the 2011 version in terms of its wrapper, so let’s see how that translates the entire smoking experience from the 2011 I smoked earlier.

Like the Singulare 2011, the Illusione Singulare 2012 measures 6 x 52. The cigar’s filler and binder are both Nicaraguan, while the wrapper is of the Mexican San Andreas variety. The strength of the Singulare 2012 is said to be medium-bodied.
