Italy Toscana

El Septimo bottles Tuscany in cigar form with the Italy Toscana toro. 

A Connecticut wrapper of undisclosed origin aged in Tuscan wine barrels,  is combined with an Ecuadorian Habano 2000 binder and pan-Latin filler mix (Dominican, Ecuadorian, Nicaraguan, Brazilian) selected to echo the structured depth of Chianti and Brunello. First draws serve cocoa and toasted spice, then glide into leather, nutty biscotti and a faint honey finish, mild-plus in strength, but nuanced and intricate.

Pair it with a bright and citrusy Bianco or Prosecco and call it la dolce vita.
