Well, not wanting to lose momentum after the first two AVO Robustos, I decided to try another last night around 6.
I grabbed a Sam Adams, the Domaine 10, and the new issue of Golf Magazine, and headed for the porch. It had looked pretty sunny all day, so I tried to will it to be warm out by wearing flip-flops. This attempt of course failed miserably. Lit up and noticed all the things I've come to expect from an AVO - easy to light, perfect draw, nice burn. At first very very similar to the XO Intermezzo, but soon I started to notice some differences. It had a similar spiciness, but was a bit stronger, and not as sweet. Over the course of the first third or so, I had decided I definitely didn't like it quite as much as the XO. However, after that, I started to like it better and better. The flavor became stronger, but more pleasant. This was a slight surprise - the other AVOs I've tried did change a bit from start to finish, but I liked them just as much at one end as at the other. Anyhow, by midway through, I was loving this cigar. I smoked it to the very end, even though it was getting colder with the sun going down. I have to say, I'm almost disappointed - I was expecting to just determine my favorite of the AVO lines and then buy a box. Looks like a may end up with a few boxes ![]() |

Re: AVO Domaine 10
Had another one of these last night. Great cigar. This one seemed spicier than my earlier review. Great construction, great taste, nothing to complain about.

My favorites so far: AVO Domaine #10 AVO Maduro #2 AVO XO Notturno For mild-medium, I would suggest starting with the XO line. My quick summary is: Natural - mild, not too interesting Maduro - sweet & tasty XO - spicy, a little sweet Domaine - spicy, medium-full Signature - blah |

Re: AVO Domaine 10
If you age the AVO XO for about 8+ months the flavor profile changes dramatically. I now always have a box or two aging in my humidor, great smokes.

All the others you should be able to find 4-5 for under $25, which isn't too bad. Just buy a few at once. Take 5 sampler is a good way to sample all the lines - you can find it for $40 with an ashtray... |

I like the Domaine series. They have a very distinctive taste about em. Very Smooth with a nice Medium Flavor.

Re: AVO Domaine 10
Get yourself a box of the Legacies. Apart from the 77, they are the best Avo I've yet smoked. Medium bodied and rich tasting. They run about 110 bucks for a box of 12.

What can I say. I´m going to try out a signature on my lunch hour today, lets see if AVO´s winning streak will last. I still stay firm on my opinion that AVO has to be my utmost favourite cigar up to date - then again - I´m still very fresh.

Re: AVO Domaine 10
Thanks for the ideas on new smokes to try. You obviously have no axe to grind with respect to C vs NC. That's a neat viewpoint to be able to espouse. I will definitely be trying one or two of the NC's mentioned positively here.

Re: AVO Domaine 10
I had an AVO Signature last night.... not what I was expecting from the AVO range. Not an ALL bad cigar. Burn was even all the way through, draw was great but the overall taste of the cigar didn´t tickle my fancy much. I might light up a 10 in and hour or so. I´ll keep in touch . I still say... My Domaine XO 20´s (figurados) Top them all, together with the legacy and notturno.
Avo all the way...

Re: AVO Domaine 10
I went to the local upscale b&m over the lunch hour and picked up a few AVO domaine 20's and a couple of their mondo robusto/canons? (52 RG) AVO LE05's, a limited edition cigar. The nice lady who ran the humi was fairly crazy about putting a couple of these in my hands. I guess I'll fire one up later and report in.
