Toscano Stilnovo Debuting at IPCPR 2019
Toscano is the foremost name when it comes to Italian cigars but in recent years the company has begun offering slightly larger cigars.
The newest of those is called Stilnovo, a 6 1/2 x 40, that is a hybrid between traditional Italian cigar making and how handmade cigars are made in the rest of the world. While most Italian cigars use just wrapper over fillers, the Stilnovo uses a binder, which is uncommon. Like other Italian cigars, it is precut and tapered on both sides like a perfecto.
A Kentucky fire-cured wrapper is used on the outside, over a binder of Italian Kentucky tobacco grown in Val di Chiana near Tuscany over four-year-old Italian-cured Kentucky tobacco.
Because all of the tobacco is fire-cured, the cigar does not need to be humidified. It is made at Toscano’s factory in Lucca, Italy.
Pricing is set at $7.50 per cigar and it is sold in boxes of three. It is expected to ship around the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, which begins June 29 in Las Vegas.
Toscano is distributed in the U.S. by Miami Cigar & Co.
