Review Notes: This cigar is stunningly beautiful with its claro wrapper and attractive band. The smoke itself was very consistent from start to finish though lightly flavored. A very enjoyable cigar especially if you like mild to mild medium cigars. I'll definitely smoke more.

Review Notes: The wrapper is flawless and the construction solid. The cigar has an easy draw and burns perfectly straight. The ash is a nice white and holds to the cigar well. The flavor is mild to almost medium, with lots of creamy smoke. The cigar has a toasty, almond nut flavor and is slightly aromatic. There is no major change in flavor for the entire length of the cigar, just subtle shifts between toast, nuts, and a hint of floral. The aroma is well recieved by others, making this a perfect cigar for the cigar bar.

Review Notes: As I stated in a previous review, this was the cigar that turned me on to smoking a couple of years ago. It had been quite some time since I'd smoked one of these, and tonight I decided to pull one out after a light meal, in order to determine whether I still enjoyed them. The answer is a bold and affirmative YES. As creamy as ever, the thing that really surprised me about this cigar was the leathery qualities toward the end, a characteristic which either slipped my palate before, or somehow has crept in with age. Everything else, from the solid construction to the handsome, smooth wrapper, remained the same. Needless to say, this is a cigar smoker's smoke; something that can be enjoyed by both new smokers and aficianados alike.

Review Notes: This baby lit great, the toasting was very effective. It burned real even, great ash, lots of good creamy smoke, light finish. I enjoyed it from start to two-inch finish.

Review Notes: This was my very first AVO of any kind, but it most certainly will not be my last. This is a great, enjoyable cigar, especially if you are an experienced smoker. It is beautifully constructed and burns razor sharp, with a perfect draw. The one I smoked had at least seven months of age on it. It is mild/medium in strength with a solid flavor profile. The first inch or so offers nutty nuances, walnut and hazel nut for me. It is very creamy. The middle picks up some distinct but mild peppery notes, like fine ground white pepper. The balance between the nuttiness, peppery spice and and occasional hint of leather is perfect. This cigar smokes cool and smooth all the way, no harshness of any kind! The perfect stick to relax with. A bit expensive but well worth the cost!
