The AVO XO cigar reviews
Avo Uvezian, famed jazz musician and composer is really a perfectionist, and his Avo cigar is no exception. Blended and formed under the watchful eye of Hendrick Kelner, this Tabadom made Avo cigar is rolled with the most selective palate in mind. The AVO XO cigar is the best mix in the entire AVO cigar line.
The AVO XO cigar features a medium bodied scent that is dry and subtle, however very complex. Tastes of wood and nuts are experienced on the palate and the ending is medium and spicy.
This unique Avo cigar captures its complexity from its five country mix. Using just the finest rollers in the Dominican Republic and the best tobaccos the world has to offer, the AVO XO is a pleasure.
This Avo cigar line is best enjoyed later in the day and in the company of a dinner, as good pairings bring out more of the cigars delicacy.
