Avo 80th

[indyrob]

I'm in the mancave smoking an Avo 80th. It's a beauty, but it tastes kinda weak. What a shame it doesn't smoke as well as it looks. I'm an inch into it, so hopefully it opens up a little.

Who else has smoked on of these?

 

[indyrob]

2 inches into it now.

It's getting better, but not that much.

I haven't had one, very nice looking cigar though

Hmmm, never had one.

Aren't these supposed to be good?

 

[frankluke]

sorry rob, but that cigar is not gonna get much bettor, its too mild for a habanos smoker like yourself.

 

[indyrob]

They are a really nice looking cigar, but that's where it all ends. It's not a bad cigar, just really light. A sip of coffee overpowers the after taste of the cigar, so that's a real bummer right there.

Very subtle flavors from what I have heard. The price point is pretty high on these isn't it? Most AVO's are anyway

$15+ on the 80th

Thanks Nick

So it's just really mild huh?

 

[indyrob]

I think I paid somewhere around 12-14 dollars each, but I can't remember right now.

 

[Wasch_24]

Wow, that is too much for an ultra-mild cigar IMO.

I'm very very suprised you guys find this cigar mild. I have smoked maybe 4 or 5 of em and they have always been very strong to me. Strong to the point of making me sick still 1 1/2" out. I've got 8 of em napping and I'm hoping they get better with age. I don't plan on smoking another for quite some time.:laugh:

 

[indyrob]

I had to bail halfway through the cigar, which is a shameful thing to do to any cigar, but it really did wake up halfway through. It has the potential, but the sticker price on a box (humidor actually) is far beyond worth getting for any long term benefits. They really should have held onto these for another year or two before they released them.

 

[caudio51]

Damn that sucks that you had to end the smoke early

Weird. Are you guys talking about the same cigar?

 

[indyrob]

I think having them a bit dryer than what I have them at (65&#37 would make these seem stronger. Still though, it did turn out to be a decent cigar.

The price made it pretty horrible on a recomendation scale.

I gotta agree with ya there Rob. itchfork

Yeah, very weird indeed. I'm shocked anyone would find these mild. :argue:

 

[Wasch_24]

Maybe Rob is more manly?

I guess I'll find out when I smoke one. Thanks Irritech.
