The present day manufactory produces sigars by means of modern machinery...

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 tobacco manufacture, 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.

You can choose to combine the half-day tobacco tour with either one of our tasting tours or one of our cultural tours and book a full-day excursion.

In case you prefer not to drive we can book you a car/minivan or bus with personal chauffeur. Please specify it in the booking form.
