I immensely enjoyed the first two thirds of the Avowed Hallowed Hands Corona Gorda. The candy sweet and creaminess and animal crackers mixed with cedar and baking spices was a winning combination that gave off dessert vibes. I'm not all that annoyed by the burn because I enjoyed the flavors so much.
The Avowed The Vow 11.25 had a nice start, with a good combination of flavors that really showcased the unique mustiness. It took a step down in the second third as the earth moved up and down and remained average for the remainder of the cigar. This cigar was a bit of a step up over the 7.05 I reviewed previously, but I still don't see it as a profile that did enough to come back to with any real frequency.
The Avowed Awakening had a nice start with a unique creamy, musty, chalky, toasted cedar. It took a step down in the second third as the creaminess departed and the mustiness gained a dampness and remained at the level the rest of the way. This was the initial line for the brand and felt a bit aggressive with such a high price point. I like how it started, but it just couldn't build on that past the first third. I don't believe these cigars exist anymore, so I'm not eager to try to track any down.
This is the Klaas that I know and enjoy. A flavor profile that is complex and keeps you engaged with every draw. The medium-full strength is also nice because it's complimentary to the flavor profile, not stronger for the sake of being stronger. I'll gladly have more of these Avowed The Vow 7.05 Corona Gorda.
The Avowed New Dawn Toro was a terrific cigar from beginning to end. The flavor profile was on point, and it started out great out of the gates. The burn and draw were amazing, and you can't ask for any more with a cigar. The strength and body were perfect throughout, and matched well with the flavors. The mocha and butter-like notes were fantastic!
