Domaine AVO 40
An AVO cigar is one of the first cigars I ever purchased and since that time I've continued to enjoy them. AVO
Uvezian, the musician and cigar guru, is the man behind AVO Cigars and his cigar knowledge shines through in the
Domaine AVO 40.
The cigar is a well crafted torpedo shape that has a spicy aroma even before lighting. The draw was a little tight,
but loosened up with some work. A strong scent of cedar lingered in the cigar with a hint of sweetness. Bold and
complex flavors crept in, reminding my palate of a glass of Shiraz. Like the wine in question the cigar hit home with
mixture of pepper, wood and a spicy sweetness. My only issue with the cigar is a bit of harshness that got worse near
the end.
The Domaine AVO 40 offers the complexity of a fine wine and top notch construction. The harshness is a turn off and
might be overwhelming for a novice smoker. Your favorite red wine may help take the edge off the harshness and
compliment the cigar nicely. Rating: 8/10

I'm quite the cigar aficionado, and I've never been let down by an AVO cigar.
Nice review ... thanks. Think I'll pick one up this weekend!
All The Best,
