Interesting, how do you smoke them?
Do you crumble them and smoke them in your pipe?
I intrude hoping for @karam's forgiveness .. They are cigars scraps, coming from Brissago Switzerland, Kentucky North Americans subjected to fermentation ( prob. also contain Virginia). They are to be closed between the fingers and crumbled, they should not be humidified because they lose their characteristic. There is another similar but stronger packaged product, with tobacco from Valtiberina (Tuscany) produced by CTS (Compagnia Toscana Sigari).

Hey ciao connazionale :)
it's like if a new world opened to me.
Toscano cigars were the first cigars I smoked years ago and now I'm smoking them again.
I didn't know about these cimette, which are cigar cuttings, and make a good tobacco pipe, I definitely want to try them. I guess they're also pretty cheap since they are "byproducts"?
I'm afraid they're not readily available in Spain but I will look for them when I go to Italy.

Can i ask what kind of model this flatcap is :D i love flatcap i already got a baker and newsboys model made from sheep wool in Belgium? Have a good day sir !
@Winterreise its a deerstalker with flaps. It was made by Haggerts of Aberfeldy who made suits and hats for sporting estates including the Royal Family. Sadly their premises is now a cafe though I’m sure someone has bought the trade name. The beauty of ear flaps is twofold, keeping the ears warm and keeping the hat securely on your head. They were made of Scottish milled Tweed. A retailer of similar hats is House of Bruar, not the cheapest but an excellent selection.
I hope this helps and thanks for the comment ?
Happy smokes

At least over here these clippings are very cheap.
