The
production of tobacco was formerly
one of the most important aspects
of Tuscan agriculture. Nowadays most
tobacco leaves are imported but a
century old tradition of cigar
making is still very alive in the
area. Arianna & Friends brings
you to Lucca at the Manifatture
Tabacchi Toscano, where you have the
possibility to visit the premises
of a large tobacco processing company
with a responsible. In a very interesting
two-hour tour you will go through
the stages of the manufacturing, the
short-term and the long-term storage,
up to the packaging and shipping.
A section of the factory is still
dedicated to hand-made cigars
like those women used to do up to
some decades ago. After the visit
we organize an intense cigar tasting,
in which the smoking of 3 different
kinds of cigar will be accompanied
by some rum and chocolate. After the
tobacco tour there is the possibility
to visit the town Lucca with its beautiful
old center and its huge town walls.

...and
in a traditional way by means of
bare hands.
