Review Notes: For as many igars as I've tested, I have never had an AVO. I have heard a lot of good things and decided to try one. The opportunity presented itself recently when my favorite local cigar shop when 1/2 price on several brands of cigars recently to promote a new walk-in humidor at their store. I picked up a bunch of cigars that I otherwise would not shell out the cash for. This AVO marudo was one of them. I was glad that I did, at 1/2 price anyway. I love mads in general, and this one was good...if not great. It reminded me of a slightly less sweet Fonseca Cedar #3. The construction was great, the burn was even better. The flavor was a bit nutty and one-dimentional. Not bad at all, but not one to make me want to pay the 10$ regular asking price on this one. Grab it if you get a good deal.
