Buy Illusione Cigars
Illusione
Cigars was created by Dion Giolito with a very
interesting concept. The concept is relative to Faith in God and our
constant struggle between good and evil. Dion started his cigar
career working at The Tinder Box part time and it quickly became a
full time job. After 12 years working at Tinderbox, he decided to go
on his own. Dion got a small business loan and opened a store on a
shoestring budget. He soon decided to bring in a cigar from cigar
maker Pete Johnson that he had bought from Tabacalera Tropical to
liquidate and make some money on. When Dion's supplies dwindled he
wanted to purchase more but the minimum purchase was 50 boxes and he
was not willing to commit to that amount, so he decided to do it on
his own. He made his own private label cigar and called it “88.”
After about 6 months of positive comments Dion decided to meet with
Pete and possibly convert it to a national brand. Pete introduced
Dion to Paul Palmer while on a trip to Miami who was the creator of
these great cigars.
While coming up with names for his cigars, Dion wanted to steer away
from the normal cliches like “Robusto” and “Corona.” Since he had no
time to play music anymore because of his newly found business
obligations, Dion focused that energy on his new line of cigars: “Illusione.”
Growing up in Nevada, he was always surrounded by numbers involved
with gaming. He began to see numbers that would show up every time
he played Keno, Craps, etc. Nevertheless, that stuck with Dion and
became the ideas behind the names of his cigars.
Dion has 12 interesting sizes, all based on numbers that have specific
meanings to him. The sizes consist of the “68” Bombone, “88” Robust,
“F9” Finesse, “4/2g” Church, “888” Necessary and Sufficient, “M7”
Magdala, “Cg:4” The White Horse, “2” And Crowned of Thorns, “1” The
Dark Prince, “2/3” Tre in Uno, “MK” The Teaching Machine, and the
“hl” The Holy Lance.
