The Toscano review
- Thread starter jabba
- Start date
That's a very attractive blog, Joe. Nicely done. I see "Toscani" dry cured cigars down here but have never seen a Toscano. Sounds like it's worth a try for a change of pace.
Thanks for putting up the picture of the sticker. That is exactly what I have seen recently on several boxes of fakes.

In case anyone wants to read further about the Toscano...

Really nice blog Joe!
And I didn't know you are supposed to cut them in the middle :blush: *edit* Where did you find that out BTW?
It makes sense in a weird kinda way, but I always enjoyed them regardless, pretending I was Clint Eastwood in "Outlaw Jose Wales" with the gnarly looking cigar in my mouth.
Oh and I have some good news for you! My friend is going back down to Italy in Jan or Feb. I'll have him pick you up some 5er boxes of both. :thumbs:

Wurm,
I read the cutting thing on a few websites. Here is one...

I believe they are rolled to be smoked this way.
There actually sell some that are already pre-cut, scroll to the bottom of this page...

Nice review.
I've had the real deal before. Don't see much difference between them and Parodi/DeNobli from (I think) Pennsylvania.
A side note which makes me smile...one weekend a year I go to Rhode Island to visit my folks at the cottage they rent for a couple of weeks each summer. That same weekend, a friend of the family, who is one of the brightest, nicest people I know is there with his wife. It's become traditional that one evening I provide the cigars, and the next evening he does. We sit out on the porch and chat, smoke, look a the stars and listen to the waves down at the end of the street.
I usually bring something pretty high end - Havanas or the like. He often brings DeNoblis - he's offered to bring better stuff, but those are among his favorites, so I smoke them. One is just as good as the other in that setting.
