Made by Avanti Cigar Company, they’re the only U.S. producer of dark fire-cured cigars. They say it hails straight from the “Dark Fire-Cured Tobacco Capital of the World,” which stretches across parts of Kentucky and Tennessee. The fire-curing method involves exposing tobacco to smoldering hickory and oak logs. It gives the cigar a bold and distinct taste. Avanti Cigar Company’s history dates back to 1901, when the Suraci brothers brought their love of Italian-style cigars to New York City. They made a name for themselves in the city’s booming Italian American communities and eventually acquiring their biggest rival, De Nobili, after WWII. Over 100 years later, Avanti is still at it producing a range of dry-cured cigars that stand out on the shelf and in your hand. The Kentucky Twist Up line is built around giving cigar enthusiasts a fire-cured experience in a causal and loose format. Each cigar in the lineup features a dark-fired Kentucky wrapper and filler. The loose-roll construction allows for an incredibly smooth draw and gives you more control over how you enjoy the cigar. You can gently press it to firm things up or leave it loose for a breezier burn. There are currently two cigars in the line, including the Kentucky Twist Up Original 4.50x35 and the Kentucky Twist Up Cream Crush 4.50x35, all packed in a box of 50. The Original is a mellow-bodied experience that delivers smoky-laced flavors of roasted coffee, nuts, and some spice. Cream Crush is a doozy on your lips with its aromatic vanilla sun-kissed notes complemented by cream and spice. Also mellow, the experience finishes with notes of caramel and smoky wood. Whether you’re just getting into cigars or looking for something outside the box, Kentucky Twist Up is the perfect option for you. Newer smokers might want to first dip their toes in the Cream Crush. You’ll appreciate the easy draw and more medium-to-full-bodied profile from that cigar. Seasoned enthusiasts can find value in the fire-curing craft behind both unique sticks. Available in a box of 50, order yours at Cigars.com.
