Yes they came out last month at my local. They're pretty good for a lighter side of medium smoke. I had the figurado and it was pretty tasty.

I have one that I got from Jack Schwartz last month, but haven't smoked it yet.

Seems like a good time to smoke it though :thumbsup:

I have never bought Avo's since they are a little milder than I like. If I have an early morning cigar it is OK, but just not my cup of tea.

I like the Avo maduro. It is light for a maduro but a damn good smoke. Nice & sweet.

Smoking it right now...grassy & slight spice. Not bad!

I had an AVO 787 at the shoe. It was a good cigar. I thought it some hints of nuts and a bit of butteriness in it too.

I have smoked a couple of dog turds from them and unless it was free I would not even consider smoking one.

Yes, Avo is a bit light. I think it has to do with which Avo you try. I believe the "Signature Line" Is much stronger than an standard Avo. And if you can get your hands on a maduro that has about 3-4 years age on it I think that the smooth spicyness is fantastic.

"blessednxs65 - I have smoked a couple of dog turds from them and unless it was free I would not even consider smoking one. "

I don't understand, it sounds as though you have an outright aversion to Avo! Anything happen in particular?

yeah, I was a little dissappointed with the LE07 too. Tasted good no doubt, but it had zip.0 on strength

You know, sometimes there is something to be said for the FLAVOR of the cigar, not the strength.

While certainly not strong, I have found more often than not the AVO cigars to be wonderfully tastey!

These are going to be released at a special event at a local B & M, I may have to stop by and check it out.
