Ramrod Rides Again

The New Look of an Old-School Favorite: Ramrod is Kentucky Cheroots

August 1, 2025

Some things never go out of style. 

A good Western. A stiff drink. The sharp, rugged flavor of a Ramrod cheroot cigar

And now, your favorite outlaw smoke is riding into town with a bold new look.

We’ve rebranded Ramrod to better reflect its roots: no-frills, fire-cured, unapologetically American. The design is cleaner, tougher, and true to its frontier spirit. But make no mistake, inside, it’s still the same strong, dry-cured smoke that’s been kicking dust since the days of saddle bags and saloons.

A Star-Born Style
Cheroot cigars found fame on the silver screen, thanks to the old Westerns that shaped American pop culture. The cigars smoked by Clint Eastwood and other iconic gunslingers weren’t just props, they were part of the persona. Short, tough, and always burning slow, cheroots came to represent grit, grit, and a little bit of rebellion.

Inspired by those cinematic legends, Ramrod delivers a unique and refined smoking experience. Just like the movie heroes who made cheroots famous, this cigar is strong, yet unexpectedly smooth; a true classic with character.

A Legacy of Strength
Cheroot cigars like Ramrod are one of the oldest cigar styles out there. Straight-cut ends. Short, stout bodies. Built for folks who wanted a smoke that wouldn’t quit halfway through the day. Ramrod keeps that tradition alive with Kentucky fire-cured tobacco and that unmistakable edge.

The new look is just that – a look. The legacy stays the same. Ramrod remains a cigar with grit, made for people who walk their own path.

So go ahead. Saddle up. Strike a match. And ride with us.
