AVO LE 2007
I sat down this evening with good company and a great cigar. I clipped and took a dry pull and was intrigued. The construction and clip was perfect, the draw was easy and produced a ton of smoke!
1/3: the first third was very interesting. I pulled on the cigar and released subtle notes of cedar and pepper. The ash was perfect, it held through the whole first third with a razor sharp burn. This cigar is shaping up to be near perfect in my opinion...
2/3: the second third errupted spice and more notes that reminded me of nuts. The ash is just as strong as the first third before it chipped; and the ash is razor sharp!
3/3: the final third was the most enjoyable part if this cigar. The final third consisted of a very nice spice, that had notes of cedar. The ash was strong and solid, and the burn was much of the same from the first 2/3, razor sharp.
I had a total of three ashes through the duration of this cigar! I could not believe the complexities that were released throughout this cigar. I had to stop and ask myself more than once, "is this really an AVO?" This cigar is a must try for anybody who is looking for a truly enjoyable and very clean smoke. The vitola was the perfect size to release every nuiance. Personally, with one more years age these cigars will have a perfect balance of body and flavor. This cigar was near perfect, if I had to put a numerical value to it, 9.7.*
