Toscano Cigars

The Toscano cigar is an Italian cigar brand crafted by using fermented Kentucky tobacco. In 1818, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinand III, established a tobacco factory in Florence, where Toscano cigars were first produced. One day, a batch of Kentucky tobacco leaves, left out in the open, got drenched in an unexpected rain shower. Under the summer sun, the wet tobacco began to ferment. Rather than discarding it, they decided to use this fermented tobacco to create cigars for sale in Florence. These cigars quickly gained popularity among Italians and became a regular production item. The Toscano cigar is distinct because it utilizes Kentucky tobacco, typically used in pipe tobacco, making it unique in the world of cigars.

The Toscanello cigar is a variation of the Toscano, which originated from the Italian practice of cutting Toscano cigars in half before smoking. This resulted in Toscanello Garibaldi, Toscanello, and Toscanello Speciale, corresponding to Toscano Garibaldi, Toscano Classico, and Toscano Antico, respectively. Additionally, there is the Aroma series, which offers lighter and more refreshing smoke with flavors like Anice, Caffe, Fondente, Grappa, Mocha, and Vanilla.
