I smoked one of Avo Uvezian's great cigars this morning for the first time in over a year, and I had forgotten how great they really are! The Avo I smoked was a Petite Belicoso, and it reminds me that I have gotten into "bargain" cigars too often and need to go back to the main humidor more often (that one houses all of my really good cigars)!!!!!

I recently revisited Avos as well, and I've been on an Avo kick ever since. They are better with a few months (or more) of age, but their regular line is great: mild to medium but very flavorful. Their Domaine #50 is an excellent medium body smoke with a subtley spicy Ecuadorian sungrown wrapper and you can get great deals on 5-packs at CB. Smoked a maduro torpedo a couple weeks ago: like smoking a chocolate bar for 1.5 hours. Excellent!

My first box of premium cigars was the AVO #7. Since then, AVO has always been one of my go-to cigars. I just picked up some Belicosos & #2 through CigarBid. The Domaines are nice as are their Signature series. Yet, their regular line is my favorite. I usually shy away from using descriptive terms for a cigars taste (ie. leathery, earthy, etc.); however, most of the regular AVOs have that "nutty" taste to them. Very destinctive. Like the man, AVOs are a class act.

As far as the AVO goes, it has long been one of my favorites and one of my "go to" premiums as well, but my point was that I have gotten so use to smoking "everyday" cigars and I sort of neglect those really great cigars like AVO, CAO and others in that class! Long story short, just ordered a box of AVO XO Intermezzo's! Charlie

Well that's just great. I guess I'll backspace now back to the bids. Avo was my favorite way back when. I guess I'll have to revisit too.

AVO XO was the cigar that got me hooked on the whole habit. I have some XO's and Domain's I won at Cbid in the humi right now but haven't been able to win any maduro. I still have an aversion to paying too much.

I've never had an Avo cigar, but I have an Avo No. 3 in my humidor right now that I am waiting for the opportunity to smoke (a time when I will have a couple of hours to spare- the thing is a monster).

I still have a few of the AVO Domain Maduro, the perfecto(#4?) and the torpedo. They are wonderful smokes, rich and full bodied and aren't that expensive. Thanks for reminding me that I had them Charlie. Barry

I recall reading a "top ten" cigar list by various well known cigar manufacturers. The AVO XO Intermezzio came up on many of their top-ten lists along side the Opus Xs, Cubans, Pdron Anniversarios, etc.

Avo was my first premium as well, and it is still one of my favorite go-to cigars. Tons of creamy smoke, never a bad draw, reasonable for the quality. It's one of the first premiums I mention to new smokers to try.

While I prefer the AVO XO Intermezzo, I can't find any around here.. so I've substituted the #2 instead. It's a great cigar although I just found cbid so I got a huge assortment of 5 packs of various of types. I used to pay ~$6 each for them.. the #2 is 6x50 and has a great cap, tons of creamy buttery smoke. when it gets sharp near the badn set it down for a bit and it'll come back to life. also I torch the ash w/ my colibri and wait about 3-4 minutes. I smoke them till I HAVE to put them out..
