Description
The Toscanello Rosso Caffè Macchiato 5 Pack is a box of five short Italian cigars built on fire-cured Kentucky tobacco, carrying a coffee flavor and a sweetened tip. Cigar Coop says Manifatture Sigaro Toscano makes it at Cava de’ Tirreni with no binder under the Italian Kentucky wrapper.
What It Tastes Like
We found no expert tasting review, so no score is shown. Cigar Coop’s February 2020 news story summarized the flavor as morning espresso with an almond note. Retailer Italian Smokes lists espresso, hazelnut and malt in the aroma and a sweet, creamy palate. Neptune Cigar’s listing pairs an espresso aroma with strong Kentucky leaf tempered by sweeter Italian tobacco.

About the Toscanello Rosso Caffè
Cigar Coop describes the Toscanello line as a half-cut of the classic Toscano double truncated cone, so each one is ready to light. The Macchiato is a sweet-tipped take on the Toscanello Rosso Caffè, and Cigar Coop reported in 2020 that Miami Cigar & Company distributes it in the US.
Pairing and Storage
The company told halfwheel the sweet tip goes well with coffee, and Italian Smokes suggests craft beer, spirits or liqueurs. Our cigar pairing guide covers more options.
