Went out on my deck and lit this fantastic cigar, an Avo XO with thanks (to whom I can't recall) in unfavorable but decent weather 89F 7mph and 100% humidity but infrequent clouds and the sun's out. Heard a lot of distant rumbling, just assumed it was the fighter jets leaving the Gary air show. Nope... thunder, maybe both. Sudden downpour and I retreated to the garage.

Glass of Glenlivet to accompany this delicious treat.

This is a damn near perfect cigar. Need more.

Rich, sweet and creamy texture, flavors of sweet nutty and woody character. Tons of sweet cedar.

Crossing halfway and it's ramping up quickly. Still sweet cedar flavors with some rich sweet spice, but definitely feeling it. Probably wont be able to finish, but I'll go as far as I can. Going about a minute a draw at this point and I tend to smoke quickly. Very long finish on this one

Another stellar smoke from @JonHuber!

Could not agree more.

At first I was all, "I hope these age well." But now I'm more, "Who cares? I'm going to smoke them!" The only one I've had to far has been fresh out da box, and it was incredible. A bad influence, because now I'm going to always be sampling the young ones...
