The Toscano Toscanello Rosso Caffe Macchiato tops its espresso and cream infused profile with a sweetened tip, turning Italy’s fire-cured Kentucky tradition into a coffee break you can smoke. Machine-made by Manifatture Sigaro Toscano in Cava de’ Tirreni, this flavoured half cheroot was built to taste like coffee with cream and sugar rather than straight tobacco.
The wrapper is Italian grown Kentucky tobacco over a filler blend of Italian and American Kentucky leaf, and the fire-curing gives the blend its smoky, woody backbone. Roasted coffee and brown sugar lead the way, cream and caramel settle in behind them, and a mild spice note keeps the finish interesting, all in a medium body that stays smooth from first light to last draw.
Because it is dry-cured, the Rosso Caffe Macchiato keeps at room temperature without a humidor and stays consistent through the whole pack. The 3 x 38 format fits a morning espresso, an afternoon break or a short evening wind down, and it pairs naturally with coffee, grappa or a creamy liqueur.

Not bad but the flavour is a little cloying. I prefer a straight tobacco.

I love the flavor and it’s perfect for a morning smoke with a coffee

Nice taste of soft sweetened café and capucino

This is perfect for a tasty, relatively quick smoke. I especially enjoy this with an Irish Stout. Although tasty, it leans towards chocolate with a hint of vanilla cream more than coffee.
