    Great review as always brother. I love your pictures! I can't say I was a big fan of the cigar however it is probably my favorite from the AVO line. AVO just doesn't do it for me. In fact the beard hooked me up with a sampler recently and after smoking it all up I came to the same conclusion. I wish I got grape from my AVO.

    BTW I definitely agree with the first 1/3 being harsh.

    Thanks Glen. I understand why Avo doesn't do it for you. Avo use very little ligeros and mostly use Dominican tobacco which does't have so much robust flavors you get from Cuban, Nicaraguan or even some Honduran tobacco. I know many smokers who think Avo is little flat for their taste buds.

    Thanks Daniel, 2002 wow! It must completely mellowed out. You should smoke it sooner rather than later. Avo Domaine is on of those cigar will not improve with such a long aging because It has very little ligeros. Dominican Olor tobacco consist delicate and light flavor and aroma. The Dominican Piloto tobacco has more fuller strength and body and sometime good for aging. Even if you smoke it after ten years, You will find little flat more earthy and dry woodsy flavors and aroma. Just my two cents amateur wisdom.

    Well my friend, your 10 years aged Domaine will not have that harshness at 1/3 stage. I can guarantee you that the harshness and some flavors are already gone. This is one of the weaknesses of The Olor tobacco.

    Great review on a great stick.

    I agree that the '26 and 80th are better, but the 1964 is a world-class cigar in its own right. I recently bought a box of '64 Torpedo's to go along with my box of '64 Monarca's. They're sensational!

    Another well done review. The '26 and 80th along with the FR are the only one's I smoke, though the 26 is one I probably won't buy again just because I will get more FR and 80ths.. lol.

    Just saw the greycliff review, very nice. I love the ashtray/shell. Unlike a lot of reviewers and reviews I seem to get a real sense of what you like and don't like as well as I learn more and more about you as a person and how much you enjoy cigars. Well done.

    Thanks Daniel...why don't you pick up the cigar you want me to review next? Let's make it your fourth. Please let me know.
