In early 1878, artisanal chocolatier Silvano Venchi opened his own chocolate shop in his hometown of Torino. With just two bronze cooking pots and a passion for chocolate, he combined regional recipes and the finest natural ingredients to create his confections. Today, Venchi is celebrated across the world for their high-quality chocolates. A symbol of celebration, this delicious chocolate-orange cigar features the highest quality cocoa with candied Sicilian orange peel covered with a double layer of pure chocolate.The tradition of chocolate cigars dates to the late 1800s as an alternative to the tobacco variety after dinner. Give as a gift, or savor with red wine or your favorite amaro for a festive celebration.
