"Nice"
Avo XO Intermezzo
I won a 5-pack on the auction site. Very mild & smooth. OK cigar, but I need more flavor.

"So-So is right"
Avo XO Notturno Tubos
I've tried several now. While a good smoke, there are much better cigars for half the price. CAO Gold comes to mind as does Casa Torano.

"Smooth, creamy, nutty, even burn, nice finish"
Avo XO Notturno Tubos
First time on this Avo. Not exaggerated, good even burn, nice draw. Finish is quite decent with nice cedar after tones. Decent mini that doesn't get hot. I would buy again.

"Silky smoothness envelopes your mouth at once"
Avo XO Intermezzo Tubos
This cigar is a little piece of perfection all rolled up in a silky wrapper. The appearance from the 4 pack makes me think it's just going to be a plain jane stick... but after opening the tube and admiring the flawless construction, I am intrigued. The smoke is silky and smooth, the draw a tad hard, but just a tad. The burn is about as consistent and even as you'll find. the flavor is great for what it is.. not too much, but not too weak either. The flavor was a light peppery, wooden, earthen-ish flavor. The stick held a good ash that for me, dropped around 1 1/2 inch. Nice grey/white solid ash. I smoked this little beauty down to where I could no longer safely draw on it.... it was that pleasing of a stick... another humidor is needed for me to make room for yet another resident in my rotation.... try a 4pk first to decide if these baby's are for you, I don't think you'll be disapointed..

"Impeccable construction....."
Avo XO Intermezzo
A great cigar in all respects albeit a bit on the mild side. Keep a careful eye on the humidity as when these sticks are smoked wet they have a pronounced bitter taste, when properly stored, however, they're a great everyday stick w/a truly complex taste profile. Avo scores again!

"Bravo Avo!"
Avo XO Intermezzo
This cigar lived up to its name. Sometimes I go into a cigar with high expectations only to be left wishing I would have just smoked one of my "regulars". But this Avo XO had a perfect draw, perfect burn, wonderful aroma and flavor. There was a distinct flavor that gave it a personality all to itself. Now I need to save some money so I can buy a whole box!

"What a Smooth, Spicey Delight!"
Avo XO Intermezzo
My buddy introduced these to me this past weekend at the Chicago Jazz Festival. The Robustos have excellent appearence and construction;the flavor however is truly exceptional: it's a mild peppery spice that stays balanced to the end. Wow.

"Marvelous Smoke that just Goes and Goes! WOW!!"
Avo XO Notturno Tubos
Not too many cigars start out fantastic and just get better and better. This one does! If I did not know what this was I'd swear it was an aged Cuban Romeo y Julieta. Be sue to take the band off after a while because you'll want to smoke this baby down to the nubbies!

"A Very Good, Strong Smoke"
Previous Next
There is a lot of taste, but not a lot of subtlety in the Avo XO Notturno. I bought the cello wrapped, but all the same it is a powerful cigar for the size. Excellent with a strong Bourbon or Irish Whiskey. A smooth cigar but it has a bite. The construction, draw and all-around flavor was flawless. The was only one problem with the cigar: because of its small size (5 x 42)it left me wanting more.
