AVO little cigars are named after Avo Uvezian
The AVO little cigars are the third extension of the Avo Series, after the AVO Syncro Nicaragua from 2015 and the AVO Syncro Nicaragua Fogata from June 2016. The latter two only appeared on the market one year later.
The AVO little cigars are the first cigars that were presented after the death of the namesake Avo Uvezian in March 2017. They are definitely the strongest of the three Syncros, the special thing is that they were blinded with a total of seven tobaccos from seven different countries. The cover sheet comes from Ecuador while the cover sheet comes from Mexico. The inlay mix in turn combines tobacco from the following four countries on the American continent: Brazil, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru.
The strength of AVO little cigars comes in a peppery and earthy covering, which is laid over a light, underlying base of a creaminess. They are interesting smokes for lovers of more robust and substantial cigars.
The first AVO little cigars were named after the jazz pianist Avo Uvezian (* 1926) from Nicaragua, who died on March 24, 2017, was the Avo Syncro Nicaragua presented in 2016. In autumn 2017, the series presented here was finally added, in contrast to the first mentioned this time only in round versions. The third in the group, the AVO Syncro South America Ritmo, has been available since spring 2020.
Compared to the “normal” Syncro, the proportion of Nicaraguan tobacco in AVO little cigars was increased and an Ecuadorian sun grown was used instead of a Connecticut. The binder here is a Mexican San Andres Negro. The insert consists of Dominican Yamasa Viso, Piloto and San Vicente Ligero as well as Nicaraguan Esteli Ligero and Viso from Condega.
The AVO little cigars series consists of four Vitolas, whereby the largest format is only available in one tube. The Puritos complements the portfolio “down” or is the fourth Purito from Uvezian after the Classic, the Domaine and the Syncro. Here you will find a complete overview of all Avo Uvezian cigars.
