Tornabuoni Zefiro: the Latest Release from Compagnia Toscana Sigari

 

Compagnia Toscana Sigari is an independent company born from an ambitious project that required years of agronomic research, field trials, and significant investment in facilities and equipment. Founded on respect for tradition and on enhancing Kentucky tobacco grown in Italy, especially in the Valtiberina area, the company has built a short and controlled supply chain, from cultivation to processing to final cigar production. Since 2015, the year the first Mastro Tornabuoni cigars were launched, the product range has expanded with offerings increasingly appreciated by smokers, standing out for quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

Each product is made from 100% Italian tobacco, grown in selected plots in Tuscany, Umbria, and Campania, and processed using traditional methods in a restored facility that fully respects the environment and the local heritage. After the success of the Levante and Maestrale versions, Compagnia Toscana Sigari expands its "Rose of the Winds" with the new Tornabuoni Zefiro, a half-sized cigar designed to offer a medium-strength smoke with a surprisingly elegant aromatic profile.

A balanced and refined blend

Zefiro is born from a blend made exclusively of directly cultivated and selected Kentucky tobacco. The tobacco is threshed only after a long post-harvest period, ensuring optimal leaf maturation. Processing is done using historic machinery that does not employ reel tobacco, thus preserving the product’s authenticity. Each cigar is hand-rolled, halved, and aged for at least six months.

The result is a short filler cigar with a tapered shape, made with Kentucky wrapper from Valtiberina and filler coming exclusively from Italian crops. Fermentation follows a classic method, and aging is carried out traditionally, giving the product the perfect balance between body and finesse.

Organoleptic characteristics

The Tornabuoni Zefiro stands out for its exquisitely savory taste, with a well-balanced bitter base. The aromas, classic and clear, evoke the finest Tuscan tradition, while the steady burn enhances every nuance. The body is refined, crafted for demanding smokers seeking an intense but not overwhelming experience. Its medium strength makes it suitable for various moments of the day, appealing to a wide and diverse audience.

With Zefiro, Compagnia Toscana Sigari confirms its commitment to excellence, maintaining a strong connection to the Italian cigar tradition while continuing to innovate in quality and offerings.
