What the heck did I smoke? - Avalon Cigars

RightAJ · 03-01-2010, 10:29 AM

I smoked this stick a month or two ago, a really fantastic robusto sized stick with tons of nuttiness... I had a hankering for the same flavor but can't figure out what it was! Looks similar to the 'Numbers Series', but there was no number on the band. Any help or direction would be much appreciated! Looked for an email addy for Avalon, but none was on their site. Pics attached:

It looks like the number series to me and if you're right about the size its the #50 Cameroon

I don't know the answer, never even heard of Avalon cigars. However, I am always searching for cigars with a certain nutty flavor. Have no idea what type of filler/binder/wrapper or combo thereof gives that flavor. Let me know if you find out!

I have a lancero that came in a Lancero sample from Famous. I never heard of them.

Sorry, I re-read the first post and noticed you already had been to the website. My bad.

I have had the Avalon white and the Hellhound. Both were good and I would like more, but no singles anywhere close to me. Don't really need a box.

Try contacting them through their facebook account or the contact phone number on the upper right of the home page.

Avalon went through a bit of re-branding this past year at IPCPR. The year before last they had more of a blues persona and the names of their cigars followed suit. Last year at IPCPR they changed their image to a mixture of blues, fast cars, and scantily clad women.

When they made that change i think they overhauled their brands to introduce cigars that were more edgy and fit to the new persona. I was never very experienced with the brand but i do recall a couple of the lines being replaced. It is possible that the cigar you smoked has been replaced by something else.
