if you believe you know cigars and are unfamiliar with AVO....you need some serious help!

your help is near! thursday, october 18th, the premier cigar rep, kris miller, will be at the smoke ring to aquaint or reaquaint you with AVO brand cigars!

i have always said that there is an AVO for every time of the day, from mild yet flavorful, to full flavor, to wham bam-sit down-after dinner-sip a drink with this one strength!

here's some "AVO 101" for the novice and the connoisseur:

avo is a top brand made at the famous tobadom factory, makers of davidoff. its silky and creamy aroma make it one of the best selling premium dominican cigars in the world.

Avo Uvezian is one of the most famed jazz musicians and composers in world, but what most people don’t realize about him, is that he is also a lover of fine tobacco. that is why when he pursued a blend by his own name, he knew he could settle for nothing less than perfection.

his first step in creating a world renowned cigar blend started with hendrick kellner, a man so famous in the cigar industry, his factory is commissioned by the top cigar manufacturers including davidoff . the original AVO blend is medium-bodied with a connecticut wrapper and mixture of 5 different tobaccos (mostly from the dominican republic) that give the cigar a creamy and silky texture. the aroma is rich with hints of wood and nuts. since its debut this brand has shown no signs of slowing down as more and more cigar lovers realize just how perfect these cigars are.

Avo Classic & Maduro
these cigars are a blend of 5 different tobaccos, mostly dominican. the Avo maduro line uses the same blend as the classic line, but with a connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper instead of the natural connecticut. both lines offer a mild to medium-bodied flavor. these 8 sizes are offered in cellophaned in boxes of 25, while 6 of them are also offered in tubes in boxes of 20.

Avo Signature
for Avo Uvezian's 75th birthday, Avo cigars created a new blend to celebrate. these cigars are adorned with a sun-grown ecuadorian wrapper and a dominican binder that contains a wonderful blend of dominican fillers. all 5 sizes are offered in boxes of 10.

Avo XO
with names that recalls musical terminology, this blend is like a complex orchestration of flavor for your your pallette. introduced in the early 90's, these cigars feature a connecticut shade wrapper around a dominican havana-seed binder. 6 different dominican tobaccos blended perfectly together make up the complex filler. 7 sizes are offered in cellophane in boxes of 25, of which 4 are available in tubes.

Avo 80th Anniversary Limited Edition Cigars
for Avo Uvezian, cigars are one of the pleasures of life that he loves to share with others. this is why he has created a very exceptional cigar to celebrate his 80th birthday. the anniversary cigar is a belicoso format - as was his first cigar composition at the beginning of the 1980s. like the birthday boy, the blend has great personality. a high proportion of ligero tobaccos accounts for the intense and aromatic notes. these full-flavoured characteristics lend a harmonious balance to the belicoso format.

Avo Domaine
a more full-bodied cigar than the classic, maduro and xo series, uses filler from Avo Uvezian's own plantation in the dominican republic. the unique nature of the soil there gives the tobacco its remarkable aroma and full-bodied character. select wrapper leaves from ecuador that undergo an additional fermentation process in the dominican republic round out the cigar. the domaine AVO Series has been created especially for connoisseurs and enthusiasts who know what it is to enjoy a full bodied cigar.

Avo 787
the AVO 787 was developed by davidoff blender hendrik kelner, along with Avo Uvezian in response to aficionados clamoring for sophisticated and flavorful cigar. the 787 was released at the 2007 R.T.D.A. show in august. the cigar is packed 22 cigars to a box in a 7-8-7 format, hence the name. the filler is a blend of piloto, san vincente, and olor tobaccos from the dominican republic.
