Product Introduction

The AVO Limited Edition 2010 is a Dominican - made cigar under the Davidoff - owned Avo brand. Its wrapper is from Ecuador, and the filler is from the Dominican Republic. It has a Super Robusto vitola and is hand - constructed.

Appearance and Construction

It has a dark brown wrapper and two shiny silver - lined bands with interesting artwork. It feels firm, with a slight soft spot in the middle. The burn is impeccable, and the ash is a bit flaky.

Draw and Aromas

The draw is perfect, producing an ideal amount of smoke. Cold draws have dominant aromas of chocolate pudding and grass.

Taste Profile

• One third: It starts with earth and a lot of vanilla. Retrohale has pepper that gets stronger over time.
• Two thirds: It's pleasant, with a bit of spiciness in the mouth, but not highly complex in flavor.
• Three thirds: Vanilla weakens, and nuts become the dominant flavor. Earth lingers in the background, and pepper is quite strong.

This cigar is part of the 'Avo Greatest Hits' sampler. It's rarely sold individually. If you see the sampler at a reasonable price, it's worth buying. It offers a pleasant and relaxing smoking experience, despite perhaps lacking a bit of complexity, which could be due to its nearly 10 - year age.
