A passion originating in our land
Sometimes the most exciting discoveries are accidental.
Like the time in 1815 when a bale of tobacco left out to dry in the sun was hit by a heavy summer shower, the sort of shower that's over before you have time to find somewhere to shelter from the rain, and which leaves you soaked to the skin. The same thing happened to that bale of tobacco drying in the sun.
The craftsmen of the Manifattura Tabacchi in Florence were undeterred. With the ingenuity for which Italians are world famous, they came up with a solution and decided to use the bale of drenched tobacco to manufacture cheap cigars for sale to Florence's lower classes.What they didn't realise was that the water had caused the tobacco to ferment, giving it a brand-new and unique flavour which gained immediate popularity among people of every  social rank.
The shower of 1815 gave rise to a legend that still today bears the name of the world-renowned TOSCANO® cigar.
 
A world of emotions in a gesture
The TOSCANO® cigar has been in regular production since 1818, three years after that happy accident.
The cigar's unusual shape is not a defect but reveals its true essence: craftsmanship, manual skill, care, passion and excellence.
Since then, the formula that makes every TOSCANO® cigar unique has remained the same: just top-quality Kentucky tobacco, water, a special fermentation process and a long ageing period. Nothing else. The rest is down to time and the work of the sigaraie (female cigar rollers), whose skills have been passed down through the generations. That's why every TOSCANO® cigar is a piece of Italy: Italian work, Italian respect for tradition, Italian culture and Italian pleasure in the good things in life.
 
Taste par excellence
Manifatture Sigaro Toscano is the heir to two hundred years of Italian excellence and the owner of a brand with a unique history. It is a company which renews itself every day, and uses the past as the basis for its future development.
At its factories in Lucca and Cava de’ Tirreni, Manifatture Sigaro Toscano produces a range of high-quality cigars for a wide range of people, for both domestic and international markets.
 
Innovation rooted in the territory
From sowing to harvesting, from production to finished product, Manifatture Sigaro Toscano leads a top-quality production chain which is 100% Italian.
The best Italian Kentucky tobacco grown in Valtiberina, Valdichiana, Veneto, Umbria, Lazio and Campania is sent to the Foiano della Chiana collection centre, where it is carefully examined and selected. Then, the tobacco is taken to the factories in Lucca or Cava de’ Tirreni, where the skilful hands of the sigaraie ensure that every TOSCANO® cigar is a unique experience.
Every step is crucial; every day is important.
 
Passion without borders
Manifatture Sigaro Toscano SpA is part of Gruppo Industriale Maccaferri. The Group's history is intertwined with the history of the Maccaferri family and began in 1879, when the “Ditta Maccaferri Raffaele Officina da Fabbro” was registered in Zola Predosa, in the Province of Bologna. It was there that the first drawing mill was set up and gabions were manufactured by hand for the first time. Over time, the industrial group has adapted to changes in competition, seizing opportunities in continuously evolving international markets with a well-defined strategy based on industrial organisation, diversification, and internationalisation. Today the Group operates in several fields: environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, real estate and construction, energy, food, agribusiness, tobacco and biotechnology.
