Illusione Epernay Le Taureau Bench Pressed

Named for the French town at the heart of Champagne country, Epernay was designed by Illusione founder Dion Giolito as a lighter, sweeter counterpoint meant to pair with Champagne — a Nicaraguan puro grown from Cuban seed but rolled in Honduras. Cream, coffee, honey, cedar, white pepper, and floral notes throughout, with the tobacco's own character showing through more in the middle third.
