Flavor Profile
- First quarter: The cigar starts with a peppery flavor.
- Middle part: It then offers flavors of coffee, licorice, espresso, dark chocolate, with occasional hints of wood and toast. The coffee flavors vary from espresso to café au lait and fresh - roasted coffee beans.
- End part: The body of the cigar changes. It begins spicy, mellows out, and then becomes more intense again at the finish.
This was the 2005 Edition of the AVO LE or “Birthday” Cigar, celebrating Avo’s 79th birthday. The reviewer has been waiting for other limited - edition releases to match it, with the AVO 22 (2002) and the AVO Legacy (2004) being the closest. The reviewer suggests exhaling through the sinuses to fully experience all the flavors.
