AVO Signature Lonsdale 6 1/4 X 43 Review

[P-Town Smokes]

Stopped by the Local Tinder box for the weekly buy two get one free. Only had 2 Pardon 64 Annv series left so on the recomendation of the owner, I tried this. About $ 9.00 for this smoke, a little less than the Padron Aniversario Exclusivo I picked up. This is a fine looking cigar with a beautiful smooth brown wrapper with no viens. Pre-lite, after I do my mouth to mouth on the cut end, has a slight sweet taste similar to the Carlos Torano Signature cigars. Light it up while driving back from Altanta, IL. that is and a very easy lite. I wasn't expecting much from this cigar but it really suprised me with how smooth it was. No distinct flavors but has a sweet tobacco flavor. No bitterness at all and a razor sharp burn. This cigar lasted an hour and never burns crooked or went out. Always a good thing when driving. Smooth all the way to the end. No real strong coffee, expresso or nutmeg or cinnamon or grass, or mud or earth or horse barn or coccoa or, well you get the jest of that, just a great smoke. Never do taste all the different flavors in ciagrs, except when I'm smoking a good Cuban or Pardon Annv. 8 out of 10 and will try again.

i've always been an AVO fan and i'll tell you why - the consistency. i keep a box of classic robustos in my humidor; mild/medium body, silky smooth, cafe au lait sort of component to their taste. great mid-week smoke or one to start the evening off with. perfect burn every time, never any construction issues. always pricey in B&Ms but less than a fiver per stick, if you go online...

and i love the AVO band.
