Toscanello Verde Fire Cigars (Limoncello)

Toscanello Verde Fire Cigars (Limoncello) 5 - Toscanello Verde Leaf Cigarettes are a unique blend of Kentucky tobacco infused with limoncello, offering a distinctive and alluring smoking experience. These leaf cigarettes are expertly crafted in the Tuscany region of Italy, an area with a rich heritage in cigar manufacturing that dates back to the late 19th century.

The Toscano brand, under which Toscanello falls, was established in 1818 when the Grand Duke of Tuscany founded a tobacco factory. This factory was instrumental in popularizing Toscano cigars among Italians and beyond​​.

The Kentucky tobacco used in Toscanello Verde is cultivated in various Italian regions such as Tuscany, Campania, Lazio, Umbria, and Veneto, and is generally used as pipe tobacco. For the wrapper, North American Kentucky leaves are utilized for their wider width, while leaves from Southern Italy are chosen for specific flavors, as seen in other varieties like Toscano Garibaldi and Toscanello Garibaldi​​.

The production process involves a special type of wet fermentation where the tobacco leaves are moistened and flame-cured in ovens fueled by oak and beech woods for 15 to 20 days. This curing process ensures the tobacco is completely treated, giving Toscanello Verde its unique character.

The tobacco filler is a blend of Italian traditionally-grown Kentucky and North American Kentucky. Additionally, Toscanello cigars, known for their high nicotine content and flavorful varieties, use a blend of Italian, South American, and Far East Kentucky tobacco for their flavored series​​​​.

Unlike Caribbean cigars, which use a binder rolled around the filler before being covered with wrapper tobacco, Toscano cigars, including Toscanello Verde, are made by rolling the filler tobacco only with the wrapper tobacco. This production method splits into hand-rolled high-quality, limited edition cigars and machine production.

After rolling, the cigars are air-dried in an aging chamber, with the aging period varying depending on the type of cigar​​.

Toscanello cigars, including the Verde variety, are cut in half as per Italian custom and are considered dry cigars or cheroots, which means they do not require storage in a humidor. The special fermentation process renders the Kentucky tobacco non-hygroscopic, allowing it to be stored at room temperature for years without losing its quality​​​​.

In summary, Toscanello Verde leaf cigarettes are more than just a smoking option; they embody the Italian tradition and craftsmanship in cigar manufacturing, providing a unique and memorable smoking experience with a hint of limoncello flavor.1
