I know Edward is really proud of this...

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Definately looking forward to smoking a couple of them! :cbig:

Most of the previous Avo LE's did nothing for me...but the 09 and 10, both are amongst my favorites. Hoping this year impresses as well!

I like the size. Better than larger and larger rg sticks.

 

[AlohaStyle]

I like the size. Better than larger and larger rg sticks.

What is the size?

 

[Thegreekone]

Beautiful stick!

 

[megladon8]

Looks gorgeous, but I'm interested in the exact size specifications.

That pic doesn't really give me any idea of the scale.

 

[smokepuffer]

The look, the size, 09 / 10 experience are selling this cigar already. Can't wait !

 

[tmoney2007]

What is the size?

Diadema, probably the same size as the davidoff diademas finas. ~7" or so...

 

[Fitze55]

Wow - that is pretty and a Dom. puro!!!! I'll be all over this, can't wait.

For fun here is a pic of AVO's 75th Anniversary cigar from 2001. Found this box pigen-holed at a B&M 4-5 years ago.

I agree the size looks like something I'll actually want to smoke. I didn't like the 55rg LE10s due to their size. I find larger cigars to have muted flavors compared to skinnier versions. Even if the cigar only comes in one size it seems to leave something to be desired for my tastes.

 

[Alwayslit]

Nice looking stick. Might be worth trying a couple.

Here is what I posted on this. This refers to a post by Barry's info he posted at A Cigar Smoker's Journal.

Just got the email from jack schwartz about these cigars. $17.75 - 6 3/4 x 50.

here is the link http://www.jackschwartz.com/s.33/avo-cigars.aspx#2011-avo-85th-anniversary-diadema

cheers!

 

[tmoney2007]

Not a crazy price for something that size.

I'm in for a box...

 

[smokinghole]

It is sort of a crazy price but then again I spent $23 on LFD Salamones and I forget what I ended up paying for some La Aurora Puro Vintage. These are less than $2 more than the last LE at $16ish.

 

[Zen Cigar Man]

should be similar in taste to the Davidoff Puro d'ORO I would imagine...

 

[hoser45]

Anyone try these yet? I'm trying to find a review! :cbig:
