Avo Syncro Fogata Toro tasting with whisky pairing. So, SPOILER ALERT: I really liked this cigar; the AVO whisky is a great combination with the cigar.

Conclusion with pairing
I really enjoyed the Avo Syncro Fogata Toro. The pairing with the AVO whisky is a really great combination: the whisky is almost smooth, has a nice malty note and mixes with a refreshing sweetness. After a few seconds, this full flavor is almost gone and the tobacco tastes stronger immediately afterwards: I tasted more wood and nut - and I really did
KAWUMMMM!
Fantastic! It's also great that the cigar doesn't get stronger during the course of the smoke. It develops in the intensity of the flavors - so it's perfect.
Take a look at the 60-second clip above. Wonderful, simply wonderful.
As always, "If the cigar tastes good to me, then maybe to you. But if you don't like it, then there's more for me!" 🙂
