In June 2018, Illusione released a new incarnation of a brand that Dion Giolito, the company’s founder, acquired from Cuban Crafters in 2017. OneOff was a brand that was founded in the early 2000s by Andrea Molinari, an entrepreneur who operated a La Casa del Habano store located in Milan, Italy.

After failing to get a cigar brand of his own made in Cuba, Molinari eventually contracted with the Plasencia family to roll his creations at that company’s Segovia Cigars S.A. factory in Nicaragua. The U.S. distribution of the OneOff brand was handled by Felipe Gregorio Cigars Inc. until it was transferred to Paul Giacalone in 2004. Eventually, the brand ended up in the hands of Miami-based retailer Cuban Crafters for a time before being acquired by Giolito.

From the launch of Illusione’s OneOff, there have been two Illusione OneOffs. Seven of the cigars—the ones with just one band—are one blend, a Nicaraguan puro. There are now three vitolas that are designated as +53, which is described as a stronger blend compared to the others. For those wondering, +53 was part of the Molinari era OneOff; +53 is the country code used for phone numbers in Cuba.
