Avo 787

[BagfullofPings]

Getting ready to fire up my last Avo 787. Once again, I did a search and there is no formal review on this cigar. I am pasting my review from another forum.

This was posted on the old board...October 14, 2008.

Although I am a complete Pepin whore, I like to mix things up from time to time. Today is one of those times. The Avo 787 is a limited production blend created by Hendrik Kelner(Davidoff) and Avo Uvezian. I smoked my first 787 almost a year ago and fell in love with it. Although I prefer the Perfecto, I am smoking a Robusto this evening.

1/3

I normally punch Robusto's, but I used my Palio to cut the 787 this evening. As usual the cut was perfect. At that point I inspected the cigar and ran it across my nose. MMMM...a very smooth woody smell. After the inspection I ignited my Vector Exlade and lit the cigar. From the git go, this cigar was all about wood and spice. A very wonderful combination on a cool Fall evening. The wood and spice flavors continued through the rest of the 1/3.

2/3

I would like to tell you that this cigar is very complex, but I cannot. Throughout the 2/3 of the cigar, wood and spice dominated the cigar. Oh well, at least they are flavors I love

3/3

This is where the cigar makes a turn for the worse. The flavors are still there, but it gets too hot. For me, excessive heat promotes bitterness. At that point I placed the 787 into the Stinky. In the past, this has not happened with the Perfecto or the Toro. The cut versus a punch might have made the difference...IMO.

Overall, this is a great cigar and I am always looking for bargains. I give the Avo 787 a 2 thumbs up. Again that means the following:

1. I will smoke this cigar again.
2. I will attempt to buy a box

I've got an Avo 80th in my humi. Can't wait to try it. I've noticed that most of the Avo's that I've smoked have gotten real hot toward the end.

It's been a while since I've had a 787. I remember it being very creamy & tasty. Medium body & price has kept me from revisiting... Thought I"ve been eye-balling them lately...

First time I ever heard about this cigar was through my cpa review teacher. Old guy from shell oil. I walked up to him after class, and said "do you smoked cigars" , he said with a nervous look on his face "whyyy you smell it on mee???" , I said no, then he continued to say, he always smoked the avo 787. I love the perfecto shape 787, has its own unique taste, but since being a on the tat binge, my taste profile has changed for a sweeter smoke.
