Avo 787

hscmit · 04-06-2011, 07:51 AM

Size: toro-6x54

Wrapper: ecuadorian connecticut
Binder: dominican
Filler: dominican

Construction: very well constructed. small veins throughout, very even coloring and no sun spots/ blemishes on the entire wrapper. no soft spots, bunching is even and appears very well constructed

Prelight: simple cut and first draw is very grassy

First Third: very oaky with some light raisin and clove flavors

Draw: easy

Burn: good

Ash/Smoke: ash is salt and pepper and holds well; not as much smoke as you would expect from a 54 rg

Second Third: still predominately oak, but also a very faint leather undertone

Final third: leather comes to the front, also resurgence of the raisin flavor

Strength: mild

Flavor: mild/ medium

Overall: this is a change of pace cigar for me and one that has been sitting in one of my humidors for at least 2 1/2 yrs. I enjoyed it more than any other AVO I have eve smoked

Scoring

Construction: 10/10
Prelight: 3/5
First Third: 12/15
Draw: 9/10
Burn: 9/10
Ash / Smoke: 7/10
Second Third: 8/10

Overall impression: 17/20
Total Score: 83/100
