The Toscano little cigars are a very special object from the Italian world of pleasure. The cigar is on the same level as grappa, pizza and espresso. Together with the Toscanello cigarillo, the Toscani have a very special reputation in the Italian tobacco trade. The Kentucky tobacco cigar originated in Florence in the early 19th century and is characterized by strong, spicy aromas and a high nicotine content.
As the name suggests, the Toscano little cigars come from the Italian region of Tuscany around Florence. Grand Duke Ferdinand III. founded a tobacco factory in 1818 that Toscano produced for the first time. According to legend, the Toscani were created from a waste product. Kentucky tobacco was allegedly forgotten in the rain during a thunderstorm that was fermented the following summer. Cheap cigars were made from this apparently cheap waste product, but people around Florence liked to smoke it. This resulted in a permanent production of the Toscano, which is today manufactured by Sigaro Toscano S.p.A. in the towns of Cava de´ Tirreni and Lucca. Over time, the Toscanello was designed, which is about half the length of the cigar. In addition to its home country, the brand is primarily known in Switzerland, Austria and Germany.
The Toscano little cigars are made from Kentucky pipe tobacco, which doesn’t actually make it a cigar. The Kentucky, which comes primarily from Italy, is watered before production and then dried over a charcoal fire, which is why the Toscano and Toscanellio contain a lot of nicotine. A taste-neutral mixture of corn starch is used as an adhesive for the Toscano little cigars.
