Description

Part of Illusione's flagship Epernay line — created to complement champagne — Le Taureau is a wider-ring expression of Dion Giolito's Café Rosado Corojo Nicaraguan puro. Mild-to-medium body, floral sweetness, white pepper on the retrohale, and a creamy cedar finish make it a benchmark boutique smoke.
