Allegria is Italian for cheerfulness, and the peace symbol on the band tells you it belongs to the OneOff family. It is the sister brand, built on specific farm lots of corojo 99 and criollo 98 and rolled at Agricola Ganadera Norteña, which is Aganorsa Leaf's own factory. It is also the first blend Illusione has made with Viso Corojo 2006, a leaf that carries more weight than its priming suggests.

The wrapper is mottled reddish brown with a real oil sheen on it. Creamy almond opens the cigar with cinnamon and a soft fondant sweetness, and a light white pepper dances underneath. A mineral salted edge touches the lips, which is unusual and works. From there it fills out with spiced biscuit, oatmeal and rich walnuts, and finishes on a lingering black pepper. Balanced and smooth to the very end, medium to full across an hour and fifteen minutes, cool right down to the last inch. Shipped nationwide across Japan from RACC.
