About Avanti Cigars
Avanti Cigars are made by Avanti Cigar Company, the same company that produces Parodi, Ramrod, De Nobili, and Petri. Founded by the Suraci brothers in 1912, this company introduced the original anisette-flavored Avanti cigar in 1970. Manifatture Sigaro Toscano, the maker of Toscano cigars, acquired the company in 2015. Avanti’s Italian-style cigars are made with fire-cured tobacco, which is smoked over hickory and oak during curing. Production moved from Pennsylvania to the Dominican Republic in 2022.
Avanti Cigar Flavors and Ramrod Bourbon
Avanti cigar flavors include Anisette, Bourbon, Cherry, Vanilla, and Licorice. Anisette was the brand’s original flavor and is also called Cordial. Bourbon, Vanilla, and Licorice followed, with Cherry joining the collection later. Ramrod is a separate brand from the same company and also comes in bourbon-flavored cigars, including Bourbon Originals. Both brands use fire-cured tobacco, giving their cigars a smoky tobacco taste alongside the added flavors.
Avanti Cigar Package Options and Sales
Avanti Anisette, Bourbon, Cherry, and Vanilla come in boxes with 10 packs of 5, totaling 50 cigars per box. Ramrod Bourbon Originals come in 50-count boxes. Avanti also makes Anisette in a 50-count box, so package options depend on the cigar and flavor. Under federal law in the United States, the minimum legal sales age for all tobacco and nicotine products, including Avanti Cigars, is 21, with no exceptions. We ID.
