Toscanello Castano Leaf Cigars (Hazelnut) - are masterfully crafted from Kentucky tobacco, characterized by a distinct hazelnut aroma. This unique combination offers an exceptional smoking experience, enticing smokers to return for more.
The wrapper of these cigarettes is made from North American Kentucky tobacco leaves, while the filling combines Italian Kentucky tobacco with cuttings, creating a perfect balance between intensity and finesse.
Produced in Tuscany, Italy, a region renowned for its quality in leaf cigarette manufacturing dating back to the late 19th century, the Kentucky tobacco used in their production is cultivated in various Italian regions, including Tuscany, Campania, Lazio, Umbria, and Veneto, and is generally used as pipe tobacco.
The manufacturing process of TOSCANELLO Castano leaf cigarettes includes a special wet fermentation, where the tobacco leaves are moistened and flame-cured in ovens fueled by oak and beech wood for 15 to 20 days. This process ensures that the Kentucky tobacco is fully cured, giving it a superior aroma and quality.
Toscanello cigarettes, along with other varieties in the Toscano range, are known for their high nicotine content and diverse flavors and aromas. Considered dry cigars or cheroots, they do not need to be stored in a humidor like Caribbean cigars.
Due to the special fermentation treatment, Kentucky tobacco is not hygroscopic and can be stored for years at room temperature without losing its quality. Thus, Toscanello Castano leaf cigarettes are not just a smoking option, but an important part of Italian tradition and craftsmanship in leaf cigarette manufacturing, offering a unique and memorable smoking experience.
