Italico Ammezzato Classico is a compact Italian cheroot-style cigar. The wrapper is made from American tobacco leaves, while the filling is a carefully selected Italian blend of Kentucky tobacco. It delivers earth, clay and toasted wood with rich leather and a gentle spicy undertone throughout a medium to full profile from first light to finish. The tobacco is aged before rolling, giving the smoke a bold, oaky character in a short session that reflects traditional Italian Kentucky tobacco craftsmanship. It pairs naturally with an espresso or a glass of dark rum to complement the deep wood and leather flavours.

Italico:
Italico cigars were first produced in Italy in the early 20th century, built around the country’s long tradition of Kentucky tobacco cultivation. Unlike many cigars, Italico uses dark-fired Kentucky leaf grown in Italy and the United States, reflecting a style rooted in Italian cigar culture rather than Caribbean methods. Production has long been associated with the Lucca region of Tuscany, where Kentucky tobacco became established after its introduction in the 19th century. Italico cigars are rolled in a cheroot format, continuing a distinctly Italian approach to strength, construction and flavour that has remained consistent for generations.
