Twist Up

You’re in for so much more with Kentucky TwistUp cigars! There are many places that produce dark fire-cured tobacco. However, most tobacco manufacturers will tell you that the US dark fire is still the gold standard for Kentucky dark fire tobacco. Touting over a century of experience, the Avanti Cigar Company has been producing some of the highest quality fire-cured cigars, priding themselves on using Kentucky tobacco in their products, even self-proclaiming themselves “The Dark Fire-Cured Tobacco Capital of the World”. The company is focused on quality and keeping in that Italian tradition of fire-curing tobacco leaves which dates back to 1815. Flexibility driving Avanti’s latest offering, these loose-rolled cigars, Kentucky TwistUp, lets you smoke on your own terms without sacrificing an incredibly bold experience. Fire-curing is different because in effect, they smoke the tobacco like the way you smoke meat. A whole stalk is hung upside down in small, narrow and tall wooden barns. They then build a fire at the bottom of the barn, the smoke going up through the barn, like a chimney, in fact they sometimes call it flue cured. Depending on what type of woods are used for the fire, it has a real effect on the flavor of the tobacco. Kentucky TwistUp is crafted with 100% Dark-Fired Kentucky tobacco as wrapper and filler. A little rugged in appearance, though they are loosely rolled so you can also enjoy the flexibility of its form, they are built for bold flavor and smoking ease. You can light one up straight, or howsoever you chose. Just enjoy the smoke, your way. Kentucky TwistUp is offered in two mellow strength styles–Kentucky TwistUp Original and Kentucky TwistUp Cream Crush. The Original is pure, unfiltered, the classic fire-cured flavor front and center. Deep earthy notes along with flavors of roasted coffee, toasted nuts and a hint of spice encompassing the palate. The finish is smoky, hinted with spice and wood. Kissed with vanilla, Cream Crush is smooth and irresistibly aromatic, notes of wood and vanilla latte rounded out by a slightly sweet finish. Pairing recommendations include beer and sweet liquor.
