AVO

XO

Slightly better than the last time I tried the XO. Flavor notes include leather, bread, and subtle slide. The draw was very smooth, and the burn was a little bit of this time, even though it was trying to run some.

Notes of leather, bread, and spice in this one. The draw was smooth but the burn would tend to run a bit.

This cigar honestly blew away all of my expectations. An employee gave it to me for Christmas last year and it's been forgotten in my humidor sense. My well maintained humidor that is. The flavor profile is smooth and leather with hints of butterscotch, banana bread, cinnamon raisin read, and bread pudding. The burn is spot on as well as the draw. The cigar itself looks week and poorly constructed but the experience says otherwise.

Very well constructed, easy draw, maybe slightly underpacked. Mild flavor, floral, creamy, toasty, malty. Smooth, easygoing cigar. Burned just a hair fast, and was not enjoyable once it got down to maybe 1 1/4 inches, turning hot and bitter. Overall a very enjoyable cigar.

Good basic stick. Lots of cedar with white pepper spice. Not super rich or complex but enjoyable. Smoke is plentiful but thin. Very good construction

Pleasant. Light and mellow.
