The Toscanello Caffè is Manifatture Sigaro Toscano's purest coffee expression — a 3.375×38 half cheroot built from Italian and Kentucky fire-cured tobacco and tipped with a straightforward, bold coffee sweetness that lets the espresso character take center stage without any cream or milk dialing it back. Made at Manifatture Sigaro Toscano's facility in Cava dei Tirreni and sold in convenient five-packs, it follows the same no-fuss ammezzato tradition that's made the Toscanello format a go-to quick smoke for Italian cigar lovers for generations. No humidor, no cutter — just open and light.
The coffee sweetening on the tip is Manifatture Sigaro Toscano's signature touch, caramelizing as the cheroot burns and amplifying the natural roasted, earthy quality of the fire-cured Kentucky tobacco underneath. Where the Macchiato softens things with a creamy milk note, the Caffè keeps it direct — it's a bolder, more concentrated coffee experience that plays to the smoky, intense character of the fire-cured leaf rather than tempering it. The result is a cigar where the tobacco and the flavor work in the same direction, delivering something cohesive and genuinely satisfying rather than sweet for sweetness's sake.
Flavor-wise you're getting bold espresso and roasted coffee right from the first draw, the fire-cured tobacco's woody earthiness layering in through the middle, and a clean, slightly bitter finish that mirrors the last sip of a well-pulled espresso shot. Mild-medium in body, aromatic throughout, and done in about 20 minutes. The obvious pairing is a short black coffee, but it works just as well as a standalone smoke whenever the mood calls for something quick and flavorful.
