The Toscano Hazelnut Raffinato pairs roasted hazelnut flavour with a sweetened tip, making it the pastry style entry of the Toscanello Aroma family. Officially named the Castano Raffinato and introduced in 2016 after a limited edition run, it is made in Cava de’ Tirreni by Manifatture Sigaro Toscano.
The wrapper is Italian grown Kentucky tobacco and the filler blends Italian, South American and Far East Kentucky leaf, so the fire-cured smoky base runs beneath the nutty sweetness. Expect roasted hazelnut and cream up front, toasted wood and warm spice through the middle and a touch of black pepper on the finish, in a medium body that stays smooth and easy to pace.
Because it is dry-cured, the Hazelnut Raffinato keeps at room temperature without a humidor and comes ready to smoke in the pre-cut half cheroot format. The 3 x 38 size suits the Toscano Hazelnut Raffinato a coffee break or an after dinner moment, and it is a natural companion to an espresso or a dark roast coffee.
