Avo XO – A True Maestro

Avo Uvezian makes a great cigar.  OK, I’ve said it, and I have believed that for quite some time.  Now, having said that let’s get to the review.

The Avo looks great.  It has a nice light brown color and a slight tooth to the feel.  I punched and lit the cigar easily.  It produced nice smoke right off the bat.

The flavors in this cigar are rich and buttery with a hint of spice.  At first, I thought it was like a buttery French chardonnay, but as it smoked there was a distinct spiciness that developed.  At first I thought mint, then cinnamon but finally I realized it was a ginger flavor.  In general, I found this to be a very nice cigar.

Throughout the entire smoke it burned evenly and held a nice ash.  Avo cigars are made by Henke Kellner for Davidoff and you would expect nothing less than the excellent quality that they deliver.

$12.50 is more than many would pay for a cigar.  And while it is a good, well-made stick, at this price it’s hard to give it high scores for value.  Despite the price, it is a very nice smoke indeed.
