Dominic Keating, president of Avanti, will appear in the show. "We could not be more delighted that our fourth-generation, family-owned company was chosen to be highlighted on national news," said Keating. "We've been extremely proud of our products and grateful to our long-time customers for over 100 years."

Known as "The Cigar Man," Keating writes a blog and relates historical cigar stories on the newly launched, e-commerce website, www.avanticigar.com.

The company attracted the attention of the show's producers because Avanti is the only company in the U.S. that produces dry-cured cigars made from the finest hand-picked tobacco from Kentucky and Tennessee. Enditem
