Tasting Notes
Since 1983
Avo Uvezian, the founder of Avo Cigars, sought out to provide premium cigars that delight the senses and please the pocketbooks of his customers. By 1996 Avo had realized this dream and had sold more than two million cigars and had received some of the highest ratings possible from various cigar reviews. During the IPCPR (International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers) trade show in 2015 the
Avo Syncro Nicaragua was introduced to the market and over the years it has been available to consumers it has gained world-wide acclaim. After having the chance to try this exquisite cigar I can certainly see why it has garnered such high ratings.
The Syncro was a true delight to smoke with its master blend of four rare tobaccos that each added a distinctive quality and flavor to this tasty stick. The blend starts with a Nicaraguan tobacco grown in the volcanic soil of Ometepe to capture a sweet, spicy flavor. Then Dominican as well as Peruvian tobaccos were introduced to tame the beast with soft and creamy notes that create a rich and complex blend of flavors. Finally all of these rare tobaccos are wrapped with a pristine Ecuadorian Connecticut broadleaf that introduces notes of leather, minerals and a dried apricot sweetness.
The cigar burned well and came to life after just a few puffs. Towards the middle it started to burn a bit unevenly but after a turn and a few puffs it was back to burning perfectly again. I was beyond impressed with the exquisite flavor profile and construction of this cigar and I think Avo has set a standard that will not soon be surpassed.
As always, I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
