The Idea

Between 1999 and 2000 Andrea Molinari had an idea:

Growing his own tobacco in Nicaragua starting from the seeds of Don Alejandro Robaina (the ONEOFF series 1999, 2000, 2001 is well known);
.  At the same time, Maturing tobaccos from the American continent (Cuba, Kentucky, Dominican Republic, Peru, Pennsylvania) which he acquired during the first half of 2000;
.  Betting on excellence by assembling tobaccos “matured“ 24 years and obtaining a production of 300,000 sticks that is UNIQUE in the world: simply untaggable.

The Project

. PURPOSE: Tobacco One-off Projects, hereinafter TOP, is responsible for the production, distribution and sale of a new line of cigars called «MOLINARI Cigars»
. UNIQUENESS OF THE PRODUCT: the various tobaccos utilized were purchased by Andrea Molinari between 1999 and 2000 and since then they have been “matured” at the manufacturing factory in a special clima environment at 17°C and 70% humidity
. TARGET MARKET: private individuals and retailers of the “BESPOKE” range all over the world
