The Illusione Ultra series is a small batch full-bodied Nicaraguan puros that was launched in 2011. Since it was first released, Ultra was intended to be a full-bodied offshoot of the core Illusione line. Dion Giolito, owner of Illusione, makes fewer Ultras than any other brand in his repertoire. Cigar Aficionado gave the O.P. No. 9 a very high 94 rating making it the No. 6 Cigar of the Year for 2015, noting: "The cigar is one of this year’s best examples of a strong, spicy Nicaraguan blend that also has some of the qualities of a pint of coffee stout. The smoke is dense and chewy, and leaves a reverberating peanut-and-caramel aftertaste that sticks to the palate."Each size is box pressed and has a very dark wrapper. They are expertly constructed at Tobaccos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) in Nicaragua.
