Avo XO Cigars

Smooth, creamy, nutty, even burn, nice finish

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.

So-So Smoke

Jus had one straight outta the cellophane. Wanted to try a lighter smoke for the summer. The burn was even, draw was silky smooth, but the flavor jus didnt do it for me. It tasted somewhat like wet asphalt and started to burn a little hot mid way thru. Ive tried many cigars without aging, and can usuall tell if they will get better with age, I dont see this AVO improving dramatically. Maybe its because I'm a fan of more full bodied cigars (Joya Antano, Rocky Patel Vintages). As far as smooth and medium bodied smokes, I'd much rather have a Cohiba.

Silky smoothness envelopes your mouth at once

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..

Great

Best cigar I ever had

Impeccable construction.....

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!

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!

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!!

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

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.

A Great Smooth as Silk,Creamy Gem I wish was cheap

One of my favorites that I buy when I get a good deal. Perfect drawl with every one. Smooth Cream Coffee tastes, like a cappuccino. Only wish it was just a tad more fuller bodied, then it would approach cubanness. Starts great and gets better with each puff. You don't want it to end so don't burn your fingers and get out the tweezers to smoke the butt.

A delight from beginning to end

This has become my favorite cigar! Consistent draw and unique flavor are what I most appreciate about this one. I was primarily smoking Ashtons,but I find this cigar more fulfilling.

A decent Smoke

The burn and draw of the cigar was very good. It actually feels good in you mouth. THe taste is slightly pepery. It has a bite so I would have a drink handy when smoking.

Same common taste as Avo Preludio

I tried Avo Notturno as an alternative to Preludio, during those rush and busy days when you have less than an hour for a pleasant smoke. I liked it better than the Preludio: it's a little bit thinner, but also shorter, so the taste is more intense. Most of all, I hate the Connecticut Shade - it looks great, but, beside Cuban wrappers, it's like jeans beside silk. The cigar has a common tobacco taste. Too common for the prize, if you know what I mean... The construction, too, could be improved, because such a cigar is supposed to last more than half an hour. I'll switch back to my Cubans.

Excellent construction, a little bit flat taste

Avo XO Preludio is a medium-flavor delight. Superb construction, excellent burning properties, but the taste is a little bit flat, due to the highly praised Connecticut Shade. Coffee undertones and hints of cream in the second half. All in all, a round and well balanced cigar.

The best of all AVO`s. Rate #9

Preludio has that moist,bold chocolate taste.

Good Mild Cigar that burnes even

I thought this cigar was pretty good for a mild smoke. I was really supprised by the even burn and smoothness of this smoke. It could use a bit more flavor.

Great Cigar

This is a very smooth, good burning, well constructed cigar. It is an extremely pleasurable smoking experience. I would recommend these to anyone.

Inconsistent and rough smoke--young tobacco taste

For the money, this is a high priced tubo mistake. By comparison, hoyo de monterey, partagas, excalabur, la gloria tubos are a third the price with good to excellent taste,appearance and construction.
