A small number of cigar companies have their own pipe blends, Italy’s Toscano is the newest name on that list.
Next week, the Toscano Maestro brand will go on sale. The pipe blends were developed by Toscao and Cornell & Diehl, a South Carolina-based tobacco company that also makes Warped’s pipe tobacco.
Upon launch, there will be three different blends, each priced at $16 per tin:
- Allegro (English) — Dark-Fired Kentucky, Latakia, Stoved Red Virginia, Unstoved Red Virginias
- Concerto (English) — Dark-Fired Kentucky, Latakia, St. James Perique
- Sinfonia (English) — Dark-Fired Kentucky, Latakia, Red Virginia, Stoved Red Virginia
Like Toscano’s cigars, these blends use fire-cured tobaccos from Kentucky and Tennessee, along with other tobacco varietals that should be familiar to pipe smokers.
Laudisi Distribution Group—which is part of the same company as Cornell & Diehl—is handling distribution. The Toscao Meastro pipe tobacco will go on sale on Jan. 30, 2024 at select retailers.
