Even 200 years after the famous Tuscan cigar was created, it remains a symbol of status and sophistication, and has become a stylish accessory in its own right
The famous Tuscan cigar has long been a symbol of elegance, wealth and importance. But over 200 years ago, it was by accident that the Tuscan cigar came about. It all began, according to the tales, when Kentucky tobacco leaves were left out to dry but were soaked after sudden rain. But instead of throwing them out, they were made into cigars, and a couple of years later the cigars had become so popular they became regular products, with various wealthy and notable people choosing them over the years.
So to celebrate 200 years of this globally successful cigar, the renowned photographer Oliviero Toscani has been commissioned to produce images that highlight the significance of the Tuscan cigar. The portraits feature a combination of notable smokers as well as workers at the tobacco factories, giving an insight into the luxurious world of pleasure and relaxation that these cigars can bring.
