AVO LE 09 Compaņero Review

[SIZE=5] Avo LE 09 Compaņero
[/SIZE]

A little history:

The LE 09 celebrates AVO's 83rd birthday. He said this cigar is his greatest masterpiece.

Blends of specially fermented Ligero and Peruvian tobaccos, and the wrapper is a Cuban seed, grown in Ecuador.


Here we go....

Shape: Toro
Size: 6 X 54
Draw: Great
Burn: Razor Sharp
Construction: Flawless


I will first start off by saying this is one beautiful cigar; a great oily sheen with a flawless-looking wrapper.

The first 1/3:
Meduim-Bodied, Very rich with loads of coffee and chocolate flavors, and you can certainly taste the distinct Peruvian tobacco in this cigar.

The second 1/3: Medium to Full-Bodied, still rich with some spiciness and leathery flavors to it.
The last 1/3: Full-Bodied, still rich, but now pepper has arose and it's still spicy, too.


The richness I am referring to is that rich flavor you get from a Tatuaje. Now quite AS rich as a Tatuaje, but rich.

With all that said, this is (IMO) the best AVO LE ever made!

I love all things Avo, well for the most part but your review had my mouth watering. These 09s have been getting stellar reviews. This could be my birthday box.

Thanks for the write up. Nice ashtray once again.
