Qué significa

'Dei' is the partitive plural (di + i). The Toscano is a strong, dark-tobacco cigar with a characteristically acrid and intense flavour. It has no filter or wrapping leaf at the ends, and is traditionally bitten and smoked from both ends. It is made at a factory in Florence and has been produced since 1815.

Nota cultural

The Toscano cigar is a symbol of Italian working-class culture. Its association with farmers, artisans, and intellectuals gives it an almost mythological status in Italian life. Clint Eastwood famously smoked it in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western films, giving it an international image as quintessentially Italian.
