After launching the limited-edition AVO Regional Series in 2019, the company has returned with two new exciting smoking experiences for 2020. The concept aims to deliver unique cigars for the various regions of the country, with the East Coast receiving one cigar and the West Coast another in 2019. For 2020, AVO swapped the focus to the North and South, allowing tobacconists in each region to offer their customers a custom Dominican puro recipe (North Edition) or an Ecuadorian Connecticut-wrapped blend (South Edition). At Smoke Inn, we've secured both versions, allowing you to choose your favorite or opt for both and compare!
AVO Regional North Edition is rolled in a shapely 6⅝″ × 50 perfecto format. A diverse selection of Dominican leaves have been chosen for the blend, including San Vicente visus, San Vicente Mejorado ligero, Piloto ligero, and hybrid Olor/Piloto ligero... that's just the filler! These tobaccos are bound in a hybrid Olor/Piloto seco leaf and finished with an undisclosed Dominican wrapper. The cigars boast unique bands tailored for the North, bringing a medium-bodied profile with standout flavors of wild botanicals, clean cedar, mushroom, and sweet buttered nuts.
AVO Regional South Edition is a bit larger than the North, boasting a 7" x 52 torpedo shape. The blend uses Dominican San Vicente visus and seco, Honduran seco, and Peruvian leaves in the filler. This diverse core is secured in an Ecuadorian Connecticut binder and topped with an additional Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. This is a mild to medium-bodied smoke that is nicely concentrated onto the palate, showing highlight characteristics of malted wheat, salted butter, and plenty of smooth table cream.
