The Singularé line is an annual limited production release of a single blend done in a single size. Over the past three years, the Singularé has developed into one of the most anticipated annual releases in the industry. For the 2013, Dion Giolito goes back to a Nicaraguan puro. This time he has an all-new blend in the size longest in length and thinnest in ring gauge to date.

One thing I liked was a berry sweetness that this cigar had. At the same time it was not an overwhelming sweetness. This cigar has a nice natural tobacco flavor along with some cream notes and exotic spice. The strength and body are both medium to full.

I’m still a bigger fan of the San Andres wrapped Illusione Singulare 2012 Vimana and Illusione Singulare 2010 Phantom, but that’s not a knock – this is a great cigar and is box worthy.
