Nice review Joe, sounds like something I need to get. AVO was a cigar early on in my career and it didn't do much for me but this sounds very different that what I experienced before. Thanks Joe.

Nice review Joe. Did you end up going with a box, or just some singles? Do you think it's box worthy?

j0z3r

Box, and absolutely.

Hey joe, how would you stack this up to other AVO cigars? I never dug the domain but do enjoy the maduro. I tried the LE from 2010 and thought it was okay. Were you wowed by those? Just curious as I seem to have been one of the few not overly impressed with AVO. Thanks and btw great write up.

j0z3r

I'm an Avo fan, to me it stacks up very well against the rest of their line. I did like the LE10, was wowed initially but that has faded a bit, still think it's quite good. This one is hands down better, more complex, better balance, greater depth of flavor. The Avo maduro is ok, wasn't a huge fan of it myself.

interesting... i thought you would like the domaine better. to each their own i guess.

j0z3r

Well, as I said there are some I need to revisit, the Domaine being chief among them. I think it says a lot for the brand though that there is not a one I didn't like.

I've been thinking of buying a couple of these. They are beautiful looking cigars! For those who have these, how are they smoking now? I've read a couple of places where they are some of the best Avo have put out.

I just had one a few nights ago. They smoke great, and I agree they are definitely one of the best cigars Avo's made.
