Toscano Antico - box of 5

Die Toscano Antico – box of 5 is a true classic of Italian cigar culture and embodies the time-honoured craftsmanship of Toscano in its most authentic form. Since its launch in 1973, it has been regarded as one of the most distinctive machine-made ‘ Toscano ’ cigars and delights connoisseurs of full-bodied Kentucky tobaccos with its unmistakable character. The handy box of five is ideal for connoisseurs who wish to experience the authentic Italian tobacco flavour in all its intensity.

Toscano Antico is made exclusively from fire-cured Kentucky tobaccos. The North American Kentucky wrapper is fire-cured over hickory and oak wood and harmonises perfectly with the filler of Italian and North American Kentucky tobacco. The cigar then undergoes a long fermentation process and a maturation period of over ten months. This allows it to develop its exceptional depth and its characteristic smoky and roasted flavours.
