Its appeal lies in authenticity. This is Italian Kentucky tobacco, fire-cured and fashioned into a cigar according to a tradition more than two centuries old, with a rustic shape and flavor profile that proudly reveal where it comes from. Garibaldi is also an unusually approachable doorway into the Toscano world: aromatic and unmistakably smoky, yet softer and more accommodating than some of the marque's stronger expressions. Pair it with an espresso, a glass of red wine, or a sweet Italian wine and you begin to understand why this wonderfully idiosyncratic cigar has remained part of Italian smoking culture for more than four decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toscano","offers":[{"title":"Box of 20","offer_id":42551976525906,"sku":"toscanogaribaldi20","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":42551976558674,"sku":"toscanogaribaldi5","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/4041\/1730\/files\/TCGA.jpg?v=1786565044","url":"https:\/\/www.cigarscity.com\/products\/toscano-garibaldi","provider":"CigarsCity.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
