Holding an Avanti Cigar while on a Road Trip

An Italian American Road Trip with Avanti

July 10, 2024

Summer is the time to explore new places while indulging in your favorite cigars. Our dry-cured cigars made with fire-cured tobacco don’t require a humidor to stay fresh, and each individual cigar is wrapped in cellophane to keep them fresh for longer. This makes Avanti the perfect road trip companion. Store them in your glove box or keep them in your bag and take them on any adventure.

Wondering where to light up your Avanti cigars? We’ve got the perfect Italian-American cities to visit based on your favorite cigars.

Light up an Avanti in New York City 

If you enjoy the original Anisette flavor, add New York to your road trip map–the place where our cigar-making journey began in America. The Suraci brothers began making Italian-style cigars as the State Leaf Cigar Company in the 1900s, operating out of New York City.

Grab your favorite Italian-style cigars and head to Little Italy in Lower Manhattan. Immerse yourself in the Italian-American culture and history that shaped Avanti’s beginning and enjoy the charm of the city. Or, visit one of Arthur Ave’s cigar lounges in the Bronx and light up an Avanti with other cigar aficionados.

Puff a Parodi in Chicago  

Love the classic and intense flavors of fire-cured tobacco? Head to the Heart of Italy to explore. The Heart of Italy neighborhood is Chicago’s first Italian neighborhood, where immigrants from Northern Italy settled in the 19th century. 

In the Heart of Italy, you’ll find a variety of traditional Italian restaurants, so make sure to stop in. Or, celebrate the rich Italian-American history during Chicago’s Little Italy Fest on Taylor Street. 

Enjoy a RamRod in San Diego 

If you love the bold, smoky flavors of RamRod, there’s no better destination than San Diego’s Little Italy.

San Diego’s bustling Italian neighborhood boldly blends Italian traditions with modern concepts. Keep it classic at a true Italian market and deli, or explore the new Little Italy Mercato–a weekly farmer’s market that takes over the streets of Little Italy.

Buon viaggio! No matter where your summer adventures take you, make sure you take your favorite cigars along for the ride. Find them in our shop.
