10 March 2010 in ReviewThe AVO line of cigars is known for quality and excellence. The 80th Anniversary cigar was develop for Avo Uvezian, the company founder and namesake’s, 80th birthday. Mr. Uvezian is an accomplish composer and musician.

The overall construction was excellent, as I would expect from AVO cigars. The cigar features two very nice looking bands both in white. The first one has the AVO logo and is trimmed in a gold color. The secondary band has AVO 80th on it. Both bands were able to be slid off with no damage to the cigar. The first half of the cigar produced a little bit of spice and a slight creaminess to it. I would not describe it as a buttery flavor, but just a nice cream. During the second half, I started to pick up more earth tones to it. This consisted of mainly a woody flavor.
The ash on the cigar is fairly firm, non flaky and white in color. The cigar produced an even burn ring as well. Nearing the end of the cigar I started to pick up a roasted nut flavor.

Great review man. I always to try one of these but sticker shock prevented me
I will have to splurge one of these days and snag 1 or so to try. Sounds like a great flavor profile for me!
