Nostrano del Brenta Cigars – Authentic Italian Tradition
Nostrano del Brenta is the only cigar brand produced entirely in Italy from 100% Italian-grown tobacco, making it a unique expression of heritage and craftsmanship. Cultivated exclusively in the Veneto region of northern Italy (home to Venice), this tobacco has a storied history dating back to Cuban seeds brought to Italy in the 1500s, with records of production for smoking as early as 1763.
Each cigar is hand-finished and crafted from tobacco aged for at least three years, with wrapper and binder leaves undergoing a double fermentation process to enhance flavour and aroma. With just one annual harvest, the production reflects the region’s climate and centuries-old tradition.
The cigars bear names deeply tied to Venetian and Italian history:
Il Doge – named after the rulers of Venice, crafted in the traditional Italian airship shape.
Casanova – inspired by the legendary romantic figure.
Clandestino – honouring historic tobacco smuggling.
Taliano – referencing half-Italian communities in South America, also in the airship style, meant to be cut and shared with a friend over espresso or beer.
Like a regionally devoted craft beer producer, Nostrano del Brenta takes immense pride in its local heritage and artisanal production methods. These small-format cigars are ideal for a quick but satisfying smoke, delivering rich flavour from the very first draw.
For smokers seeking a genuine Italian cigar steeped in history, authenticity, and tradition, Nostrano del Brenta offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
