Great review! I'm a self admitted AVO fan boy and saw these in the B&M but passed on them, I may have to pick some up.

Very interesting Russ. I did notice some similarities between the two, but the Heritage and LE10 are completely different cigars for sure. Can't wait to see how the other vitolas are, I've read that the short robusto is the most mellow of the line, so I'm excited.

Wow, jozer your doing reviews now? Well a first for me, great job. AVO for me has been a miss except for the maddy which I have 3 left.

I do them every so often if something catches my interest.

Kinda lost my steam on reviewing the entire line. So far I've had the robusto and churchill in addition to the short robusto I reviewed. The robusto had a more pronounced flavor profile and more depth of flavor compared to the short robusto, didn't seem very well balanced to me and got bitter towards the end of the second third, 8/10. The churchill was fabulous, excellent flavor from first light, great draw and much better complexity and balance than the previous two and it was great to the nub, also this one really showcased the strength touted in the description but lacking in the previous sizes. So far the churchill is the shining star and gets a solid 9+/10, unless the toro proves to be superior, this one is box worthy for sure.

I've been waiting on the Toro review Joe. I always seem to like that Vitola best in most sticks. Hope it turns out to be as good as the Churchill was for you.

Heard so much good stuff about this cigar, and know guys who are literally smoking them every day almost. Definitely looking forward to trying one.

I'll try to do the toro, might just be a brief bit, but I'll get something up for the toro.

I've got a 5 pack of the Toros on the way. Can't wait to hear what you thought of that size. How long did you let yours rest before trying them out?

Nice review. Just had one of these over the weekend and I enjoyed it. I'm not a fan of Davidoff, so it took the shop owner convincing me that this one is nothing like most Davidoff blends before I'd bite. I agreed that it was very different from any other Avo or Davidoff I'd smoked before. Would I buy it again? Maybe. Would I smoke another if someone handed me one? Sure.

I had the same feelings about this size as well Joe. It was a pretty good smoke, but the size made it a bit hot on the hands, which I don't normally get with a Nub or something similar. I really enjoyed t though and at the price I can get them for I'll be sampling the other sizes offered hopefully in the near future.

The toro was good Russ, though my favorite was the churchill. I didn't rest them at all, they came in good shape, not hot or overly humid and they smoked well and tasted just fine.
