So-So is right

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

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..
