The AVO Syncro Caribe Toro navigated a good array of light and subtle flavors, and brought them all together in combinations that kept me engaged and interested for the entire review. The draw and burn were both flawless. I would happily smoke the AVO Syncro Caribe Toro again, and it would go on a list of AVO cigars that are noteworthy in the past few years.
The AVO Syncro Caribe focuses on the characteristics of the Caribbean. This dynamic cigar was blended to showcase a process we are calling ‘Natural Distribution’ in which the proportions of the tobaccos on any given plant is perfectly matched in the blending process. Specifically, the ratios of tobaccos from each priming are matched in the blend in all vitolas.
I am not one of those guys that is crazy about the Avo Classic line. However, the AVO Classic Belicoso is lightyears better than the other vitolas in the line and I would revisit quite frequently. There is complexity, depth and transitioning throughout. Great to see them bring back this cigar, even if it is for a short time.
The AVO Regional North Edition provides a nuanced, balanced and engaging cigar experience for at least two thirds, and a pleasant smoking experience for the last. The natural comparison here is going to be to the South Edition, and I gravitate towards the North Edition. One could say it's just a bit more refined.
The AVO Regional South Edition was an enjoyable cigar through the first and second thirds with the profile becoming unbalanced through the last third. The profile was markedly different than the North Edition, and did suffer from some minor burn issues.
AVO Cigars, the global premium cigar brand, is proud to announce the return of the artisan Belicoso size in the brand-leading line, AVO Classic. A reunion of the Belicoso size which was last released in 2005. This unique and popular format will be available for a one-time production of 2,000 boxes in 25-ct available only in the Unites States.
The AVO Classic Maduro No. 2, while not new, is a great re-release for 2020. The blend is balanced and approachable. Any cigar smoker would enjoy it, it just depends on the time of day. This is a morning and evening maduro in my opinion and a great Connecticut Broadleaf offering from AVO. I loved the cocoa, coffee, cream and cereal notes.
The AVO Improvisation LE 2020 has a really nice start, delivering some lovely cream, earth, coffee and raisin notes, but the changes that take place in the second and final thirds really take away from the beginning. Not a bad release, but far from the best AVO and not limited edition quality in my opinion.
AVO Cigars will kick-off the year by changing the tempo with three memorable product offerings that are focused on elevating the moment for and with friends. The blends are inspired by uplifting experiences that entice and excite.
The AVO Improvisation LE19 starts out complex and interesting in the first third, but declines in balance and intensity as the cigar progresses. I get the impression this cigar might balance out the middle and last third given some time to rest.
