TOSCANO ANNO DOMINI 1492 Cigar Review
THE LEGEND OF TOSCANO
As fact is often more mysterious than fiction, Toscano cigar was first produced and given its name by pure accident almost two centuries ago. Its history is by now legend. Florence, 1815: At a tobacco factory belonging to Ferdinand III (then the Grand Duke of Tuscany), a bale of Kentucky tobacco leaves which had been drying in the open were caught in an unexpected downpour of rain.
The wet tobacco started to ferment. Instead of throwing all the tobacco into River Arno, the fermented leaves were dried and made into inexpensive cigars to offer to the people of Florence. A simple band is put around each cigar, which today is still one of Toscano's characteristics.
Its uniquely "new" flavor and rich aroma became an instant success with the Italian people, and soon garnered much popularity amongst some of its prestigious smokers such as King Vittorio Emanuele II, Garibaldi, Verdi, Puccini, Mascagni. And finally found its way between the fingers of notable artists such Renzo Piano, Mario Soldati, Marcello Mastroianni, Francis Ford Coppola and Sergio Leone, who made it famous through Clint Eastwood in some of his unforgettable Spaghetti Westerns.
