Avo XO Original Allegro
"Mild, good tobacco, but too tight"
Sometimes a small, mild cigar with excellent tobacco is just what I want, but this one has a draw that is too tight; thus, the smoke volumn is too thin. Not much taste gets through, and working to get a fuller volumn of smoke causes the cigar to burn too hot.

Avo XO Original Maestoso (4)
"So-So Smoke"
Jus had one straight outta the cellophane. Wanted to try a lighter smoke for the summer. The burn was even, draw was silky smooth, but the flavor jus didnt do it for me. It tasted somewhat like wet asphalt and started to burn a little hot mid way thru. Ive tried many cigars without aging, and can usuall tell if they will get better with age, I dont see this AVO improving dramatically. Maybe its because I'm a fan of more full bodied cigars (Joya Antano, Rocky Patel Vintages). As far as smooth and medium bodied smokes, I'd much rather have a Cohiba.

Avo XO Orig Maestoso Tubos
"Impeccable construction....."
A great cigar in all respects albeit a bit on the mild side. Keep a careful eye on the humidity as when these sticks are smoked wet they have a pronounced bitter taste, when properly stored, however, they're a great everyday stick w/a truly complex taste profile. Avo scores again!

"A Great Smooth as Silk,Creamy Gem I wish was cheap"
One of my favorites that I buy when I get a good deal. Perfect drawl with every one. Smooth Cream Coffee tastes, like a cappuccino. Only wish it was just a tad more fuller bodied, then it would approach cubanness. Starts great and gets better with each puff. You don't want it to end so don't burn your fingers and get out the tweezers to smoke the butt.

"Great Cigar"
This is a very smooth, good burning, well constructed cigar. It is an extremely pleasurable smoking experience. I would recommend these to anyone.

Avo XO Original Preludio Tubos
"Inconsistent and rough smoke--young tobacco taste"
For the money, this is a high priced tubo mistake. By comparison, hoyo de monterey, partagas, excalabur, la gloria tubos are a third the price with good to excellent taste,appearance and construction.
