Hey all,


They have an auction for AVO XO robusto 5/50. I cant find that size anywhere. I can find the Intermezzo 5.5/50, but not an XO robusto. What gives? Are these an exclusive?

Any info on this, Trish?

Thanks for the answer Trish, and just to be clear they are not made " under licence", they are AVO's that are made in a special size just for you guys, correct?

Thanks for the response and info, Trish. Don't worry, we still love you despite the news you bring. We know you're the messenger, not the messingupper...


Hey Porksoda, why don't you pick up an AVO robusto from CBid and taste test it against an Intermezzo from some other place that we'll not mention, and let us know what you think?

my advice to you would be come back on in a day or two and just say that you smoked them both and they are exactly the same... say there is no difference between the two...

CI/cbid are not making sub-imitation AVO XO's and then slapping identical bands on them and then selling them under the same name...

they are not kicking the guy who makes the real ones a few bucks in return for permission to use said bands...

that's not what's happening, the two cigars will not be distinctly different from one another, and dpnewell is not dead or harmed in any way... he lives in a condominium in boca raton under the name clive henry fuglsby where he makes a modest living cobbling shoes for cuban immigrant dancers...

Hey Trish,

Still waiting for clarity on this. As I asked after your last statement, these XO's are an exclusive size for you guys, but are not made "under license", they are from AVO?

An answer here would go a long way.

Thanks in advance.
