Parodi by Avanti

Exactly what I want when my band takes a break.

So, I consider myself an explorer of cigars. I love trying new things but I also have my standard 'go-to'. Typically I go with Bandidos, but when I found these for about the same price I figured I'd give it a try. And I am very glad I did. The Parodi are slightly stronger than a Bandido but they have a nice smooth draw, 30-45 minute smoke, and wonderful rich but not overpowering flavor. You can taste the Kentucky in them (get some and you will see what I mean!). I was a bit hesitant when I got them, they smell quite strong and have the same scent of most chews but after I tried one and found the flavor was great I have shared them with co-workers who loved them as well. I also love that they come in packs of 5 which is very convinent. Overall these area great and I have nothing bad to say about them. Highly recomend if you like a rugged outlaw style cigar with good clean flavor, easy draw, well made, and a steal for the price.

Great

Very nice, smooth smoking

Ok

Nice rustic cigar

Terrific daily smoke . Could be my new favorite and will buy again .

nice smoke .

Excellent flavor and excellent draw. Will be buying them again. Just as good as they were in the old days!!

These cigars were a good little smoke to enjoy. Great for a short car ride.

This is a good smoke and a nice size, if you want a longer smoke.

This is a good, cheaper substitute to Toscano.

You definitely taste the strong cherry vanilla smoke throughout the entire smoke.

Very nice cigars when you have limited time.

nice smoke last about an 1 and 1/2 hours always fresh don't need to be humidor

Great taste

Smoked Avanti Kings as long as they have been around but wanted a longer smoke. The superior’s taste is what I expected. This is my second order for the 50 packs. The first 50 had too many - maybe 10 that burned uneven. I have only smoked maybe 15 from second box and 2/3 have also burnt unevenly. We will see how the rest go. Michael W. - Oklahoma

I like these over the 6.25" Superior; burn better. They are great for smoking or chewing when working. Been smoking since they came out; smoked the shorter Parodis since late 60's. Michael - OK

This small cigar tastes good and is full of flavor.. I liked the convenience of the foil packaging. Onlly disappointment was that small pieces of tobacco comes off draw end easily when held in mouth too long.

Good draw, good taste

Great cigar, real tobacco taste , definitely will order more

I like the Parodi cigars size and flavor. The reason I gave them a 4 star rating was that some of the cigars have leaks because of big stems which makes them hard to draw. Maybe quality control could do something about this.

good cigar

Great flavor and a nice little puffer.

Parodi a classic for me for over 54 years and always consistent flavor

best cigar by far ,I love cheroots this is top of the line, best I've found and i have tried them all

These are great little cigars bursting with flavor and aroma. Nice when you’re not feeling a full big 45 minute smoke.

Very tasty! Been a big fan of avanti for a long time! Kudos to CI for great service always!

Been smoking them over 50 years.Like the taste and size.

Good

I have had very good service from cigars international.

good flavor, pleasant smoke

Nice size

Super old fashioned Stogie. Great smoke.

Awesome cigar. One of the original cheroots that aptly qualifies for the name. Highly recommend this cigar for those who like a short smoke every now and then; or depending on the situation such as time for a good smoke but not the time to light up a full size cigar.

I have some premium cigar favorites but my all time favorite cigar is Parodi. They are always a great smoke anytime. I've smoked them for over 40 years and have been my go to.

My go to for a quick cigar

Great

I've been smoking Parodi for 50 years. Love the flavor. Had over 80 million watch my TV show on History. They recognize the cigar more than they do me! CI is great!

Good little cigar. I am not a big time cigar smoker but I do like these little cigars. I buy them from cigars International because of the ease in ordering on line and they have fast shipping.

Great flavor, price and smoke, just the right amount of cigar.

Good cigar.

Nice little cigars. I get it. They are machine made and cheap, but good to keep in my car when I want a quick smoke. No need to worry about keeping these little guys in the humidor.

I was introduced to Parodi cigars when I went through Navy Survival Evasion Resistance Escape (SERE) School. They just seemed “appropriate” to the experience.

Great cigars, very fresh!

I'm from a small town in Pennsylvania in an all Italian neighborhood where Parodi was THE cigar. I've been smoking them for 40 some years and really love the taste, the way they're made in the traditional Italian shape and the price. I live in Arizona now and parodi is very hard to find. I'm glad you carry these tasty little smokes.

Avanti has some inconsistency on quality with some sticks of poor quality or taste, however, the majority of the smokes are outstanding and more inexpensive than the Toscano cigars they also make from Italy. Recommended..

Great for a quick smoke. Throw one in your car and no humidor needed.

Loved the Smokey flavor

Great smoke.

Good flavor and burn.

These are OK. Not good but not bad either. They are good for a quicker smoke.

Good

Inconsistent

great i smoked them for years

American made

perfect size for a quick smoke

There great,but I bought them to ween off of cigars. I no longer need your services. I guit!

Very good cigar . I have been smoking them for years. They remind me of the cigars that Clint Eastwood smoke in his westerns. Great taste and smoke. I also got them because riding a motorcycle you can smoke them and they don't break apart.

Perfect length for a quick smoke (approximately 20 minutes). Surprisingly mild smoke. A good size to carry in a shirt pocket or inside pocket of a jacket. Very happy with these and will order again.

Enjoy the Parodi's very much. Have for quite a while.

Burns well, strong flavor. about a twenty minute cigarillo.

Perfect smoke

should be cheaper price.

Great for every day

Great

Love these cigars. Have for years

Not for everybody, it is a great little cigar for a great smoke, a little different, not for most, very hard to find in most cigar shops but every likes something different!!

A nice little smoke when i dont hve time to enjoy a big stick.

I have never been married to a cigar in the 40 some odd years I have been smoking, but these Kings are as close as I've come. Excellent fishing, hiking and kayaking cigars that meld the smell of the outdoors with the flavor of this cheroot. They are incredibly diverse, as they can be an everyday cigar for lawn work, a tasty morsel when you want to relax, or a rugged smoke when casting out on the lake hunting for fish. They pair well with beer, especially dark beers, and when sitting around a fire, this is the absolute delectable smoke that blends wonderfully with the smell and sensation of flaming embers. They have an old world taste, and you can imagine yourself riding the range while puffing on one. Dip the non-lit end in some quality bourbon or brandy, then take a puff, and you have a taste treat for kings. Pass them out for special occasions, and if they like cigars to begin with, they'll love these. I have smoked them all, but this is the only cigar I come back to time and time again.

To me it brings back memories of childhood when all the old Italians played bocce ball and smoked a stogies that’s where I learned to love him as a kid

I really like this cigar,good flavor, must have in my humidor for quick smoke

I enjoy them it's my everyday smoke. The price is right by buying the case.

Good little tasty cigar. You can spend more and get a lot less

Good

ENJOY THEM A LOT.BURN SLOWLY AND STAYS LIT.NOT TO STRONG AT ALL AND THE SMELL DOES NOT CHASE PEOPLE AWAY.I ALSO SMOKE BANDIDOS AND A CHANG IS GOOD ONCE IN A WHILE.WELL DONE I WOULD SAY.

Good cigar for the price. Be prepared to repair improper burning of the cigar on occasion by wetting the area that is running. Good rich flavor and I will buy again.

I like them a nice smoke when your looking for a good short smoke

There are an occasional broken or cracked cigar in the batch of 50 cigars but overall it's hard to go wrong with these cigars. They are a funky, odd type of smoke with a ton of character.

nice

Usually start the day with one of these little jems. Have been a fan for 10 plus years.

Good-tasting cigar. I’ve enjoyed them since 1968! Wish they weren’t so expensive!

Great smoke! Been smoking Parodis for years; can’t find them in my area so CI is a life saver! JMcB

They're good but an hotspot now and then

Perfect length and great smoke

Quality of cigsrs are not consistent

The pros are this is a classic American made product, it is the perfect range for a 30-40 minute smoke, and the price is right for those who blow through cigarillos. The downside is they are lacking in flavor and will be a disappointment for any fan of hand rolled premium cigars.

Thought they were good for the price and smoked good happy

I love the taste. However, several of the cigars in each package had mid-shaft leaks. Of course, this could be due to shipping but it makes them difficult to smoke. Overall I like the cigar and I like the flavor.

Good little cigar.

These are my every day cigarillos. I like them and their size.

Several things I like about this cigar - the strong flavor (I am not a fan of smoking cigars that taste like ambient air), the size (easy to carry and handle) and the length of time it smokes (usually 40-45 minutes each). I started smoking these in 1973 when going through Navy SERE (Survival Evasion Resistance Escape) training and they reinforce old memories.

These have the always great Parodi flavor, but come in a size that's better for sitting for a while and having a cigar, which is what I like to do. One caveat. I've smoked 20 of these so far and, of the 20, 2 have had small holes in the wrapper. One was close enough to the end that I just cut it off and still had a good cigar. The other was close to the middle so I had to cover it with my finger to get a good draw. I still enjoyed the cigar, even though I had to "work" at it a little. Even if that defect rate turns out to be typical, these cigars are a great value. I'll definitely be buying more.

Very strong but worth ut

I like the service fine but I cannot get the free shipping at all.

Great service and great quality products

Great

This is the second time I have purchased 50 of the Parodi Cherry Vanilla. I was somewhat disappointed in the first batch. I could not taste any of the cherry/ vanilla. I did like the way the cigars smoked. I was hoping for an improvement in the second batch, but again no flavor!

great for a fast smoke, strong and to the point !

This are great little cigars full of flavor great bathing for the price.

I like these because they are three to a pack and resealable

I like them because of the flavor and the size of the cigar.

Mild, lasting and chewable.

These are my favorite cigars. Yeah, there are bigger, better, and more expensive cigars, but Parodi Cigars are conveniently sized, provide a good, satisfying smoke, and they don't break the bank! They are good on the golf course and good with a glass of bourbon and a good book.

Had not seen them in years. A great quick break smoke. Unique and pleasing taste.

Been smoking Parodi cigars for 50 years.

Not as quick of a smoke as you would think. Ol’ reliable would be a better name. Ive smoked them for 30+ years and they’re so consistent!

Very good. Good taste , and fresh.

a good 45 min smoke

Nice cigars. Quick delivery

Good everyday smoke.

Your customer service is great, thank you for your help

I have been smoking Ammezzati cigarellos for over 20 years and I enjoy them very much.

Good long smoke. Burns nice for the price. Subtle favors of cherry and vanilla. Not like a swisher sweet. More like a cigar. I like them and recommend them, for the working man.

Great service and reasonable pricing. Been using Cigars International for years.

Have been smoking them for years —appreciate your service

Five starts

i give it 5 stars in its class, ie machine made cigarillo/cheroot. consistent full-bodied flavor, tight draw. try and see.

Theese are GOOD! But I love them Kentucky Cheroots,by the same Folks. They are Gooey, Chooie, and taste great! Try um when you can.

Good smoke

Ok

Parodi cigars-good as always.

Remembering

Great cigar,right seize good taste good price

I have smoked Ammezzatis my whole life... not strong... not mild... but different.

I grew up in Jersey and all the old timers smoked Parodi's. I still remember my Dad smoking them when I was a kid. Then my brother and I did too. I've smoked them all my life and they're a great Toscano style cigar. Intense fire cured flavor! Do yourself a favor and try them. After all, they've been an American made cigar since the turn of the century. Last century!

I have commented on Parodi Cigars before. They really are my favorite cigar. Occasionally you get one that is rolled to tightly and won't draw, but as a rule, these are tasty cigars that satisfy quite nicely. These are good cigars on the golf course, sitting on the porch, or when sipping a good bourbon.

Good half hour smoke. No need for a humidor. A good med-full to full flavor cigar.

Robust flavor with a smooth finish from this dark fired treat. Great smoke.

Great bang for the buck when your out side going a little yard work!

Small handy to carry. Great flavor. Enjoyable smoke. Easy to use the leftovers in my pipe. And the neat thing it seems to ease the lupus when I'm in a flair. Note that is not medical advice I am merely stating what they do for me. They may not do the same for everyone or anyone else.

If you like a cigar with a kick then you will probably like parodi.

Great little smoke.

I truly enjoy smoking this selection Parodi by Avanti....

First cigar I smoked in 1966 and still smoking today. A nice cigar for working in the yard. Not my first choice after a nice dinner; but always reliable. Michael

great everyday smoke

I really enjoyed that little cigar just the right taste.

Very enjoyable great for a short walk or small talk. Nice flavor for a quick smoke.

I've been smoking Parodis for years. They are a great size for a quick smoke and for packing in the glove box. You will get an occasional stick rolled too tight to smoke but I think that occurs less with the Kings. Since they are dry cured a humidor is not necessary but that process does also cause the occasional hole in the side.

Great little smoke

Excellent

Excellent cigars, dont need to keep them in a humidor.

I don't have time for monster smokes. My current favorite is Cohiba Black Piquenos, but tried the similar sized Parodi. While rolled more loosely and sporting a shaggy look, if you like some peat in your single malt you should give these a try. They burn evenly and cost less than half of a Cohiba.

Tasty and smoke a lot longer than you might think due to their density. Smoky sweet and great with a fall or winter beer

very fine

These are my daily go to cigars along with the shorter Ammezzati. Love the smokey mesquite notes, also get red pepper at the start and cocoa powder about halfway through. Also nice that they don't half to be humidified.

I've smoked Parodi's for over a decade. I mistakenly ordered the Ammezzati size and just don't care for them. It's true that the tobacco is the same, but the size is just way too small. The ring gauge is the same, but they're so short it's just not satisfying. Of course this might be personal preference, but these really are just so incredibly short that they're not worth it.

I like Parodis I just don't understand why a box of the cigars costs more than a 10 pack. They contain exactly the same number of cigars.

Much better smoked cured flavor than other more expensive brands I've tt tried. Very good quick smoke, burns well.

I have been smoking Parodis for years. You can smoke them while on the motorcycle and they don't come apart. They are a great little smoke. " Not Strong ,Not Mild but Different.

My favorite everyday smoke...not fancy but good taste...construction could be more consistent but you will not be disappointed.

Good cigar

Not too much flavor in these stogies.....bland and boaring.

Just as advertised

Lots of flavor. Big enough to enjoy on a break

Great "yard gar"...lot's of flavor.

Nice midday smoke, which allows me to fill my need during the day, so I can enjoy my Diesel or Man-O-War in the evening! Will add these to my orders from now on! 👍🏼

My favorite

I buy these cigars periodically for my brother and he loves them! Best price you will ever find and the service is fantastic!!!

A great little smoke

Parodi Kings - I got these to try out because I ran out of my “driving smokes” (little cigars I smoke in the car to and from work). Man, these sticks are tasty. I just got them yesterday, and I’m smoking my 4th one right now. I know some people will read what I’m about to say and think I’m crazy, but these taste a bit like liga privada papas Fritas, especially on the retrohail. They aren’t quite as good as the papas fritas, but it’s what comes to mind every time I take a puff. Pretty nice. I will re up on these for sure.

My go to smoke. Structure inconsistent.

Good quicky while working

Seem to be a little different from my regular choice. I like Parodi Ammezzati as my first choice. Need something different now and then.

20% are rolled too tight to smoke

I like these cigars. CI delivers on time and has good prices.

Every order has been a pleasure , I am tired of getting cigars from the store and then finding them to be dry , stale and crumbling apart .

Good for a quick smoke. Reasonable price.

great little cigar for a 15/30 minute break

I have smoked Parodi Cigars since 1970 or there about. As a rule, they are a very good cigar. That being said, if you get a batch that is rolled to tightly, they are impossible to smoke and a terrible waste of money. I recently purchased 100 Parodi's and they are rolled very well and they are great little cigars. About ten percent of the time, one will get a bad batch. The rest of the time, you will get a great smoke. They are worth the gamble.

Great service

If you are looking for a cigar, this ain't it. If you are looking for a cheroot, one that doesn't suck, this may be your ticket. Their crude, but all cheroots are. They are a little punchy. Not a light smoke, but since it's small it's no issue. They are perfect for working. You don't eat a hotdog and expect it to taste like ribeye. So, don't buy these expecting an Opus X. They are good at what they are meant to be.

Great little cheroot, wonderful fire cured flavor. Always carry them for a short smoke. Can't beat them in my book.

I enjoy these on a daily basis

nice smoking I enjoyed this cigar I will be buying more of them

A good alternative to more expensive cigars

These are great 15 min smokes. Great taste

I started buying them when they came 2 in a pack. & cost 15 cents.

Great price,fast home delivery

Really enjoy these cigars, the hand rolled look, feel, taste and they smell very nice.

Not to harsh good ash, good for the person on the move, who wants a quick 20 minute smoke.
