My local guy just got these in so I wanted to give them a try, only got 2 though. Nice size it’s a beli. and good ring size I would say about a 50 or a bit smaller. The construction was top notch like most of the other AVOs. It is all Dominican with an Ecuadorian wrapper much like the Davidoff mill. blend only thing is this cigar is the Davidoff’s retarded younger brother very tart taste and bland flavor. The burn was great and the ash compact, but all the way through the cigar was almost not enjoyable. For the price I wouldn’t touch this cigar with a ten foot pole, go and smoke a AVO XO and save a few bucks if you love the line. Seems like AVO only puts out “LIMITED” now, how are his cigar “LIMITED” when that’s all he seems to make anymore? Anyhow, I will age the other for a few months, who knows maybe the cigar was a bit wet still.

Keep in mind I only smoked one so don’t take this review seriously.

Hmm, doesn't sound too promising so far! I'd be curious also to see how some age will affect these.

I have had two so far and noticed a slight sweetness to it but no tartness. I have three boxes that will sit for at least a year. I talked with the Davidoff rep and he suggested that I age them with the cello off for a few months.

So far the best "everyday" AVO for me is the Domaine 50. Then there is the 77 and the 22 for special occasions.

I had similar sentiments. Nice cigar, but for the price I can get things that excite me immediately and don't require aging.

Hmmm...I found the cigar very enjoyable,a little fuller in body and better tasting than the signature. X
