The new highlight: the AVO Fresh Pack

What makes this cigar so special at the moment: The AVO Classic Maduro is available for the first time in the new AVO Fresh Pack. AVO has never had a Freshpack like this before.

Let my AVO Classic Maduro review begin!

Four toro formats, four characters - an exclusive pleasure experience. And all in high-quality, airtight packaging with a freshness guarantee. Contents:

• AVO Classic No. 2
• AVO Classic Maduro
• AVO XO Legato
• AVO Heritage Toro

The RRP is CHF 65.00 per packwhich is absolutely fair considering the quality and presentation on offer. And: There has never been a Fresh Pack like this from AVO before. This makes it a real novelty for the Swiss market - and a clever choice for many occasions.

Whether as a gift, as an introduction for AVO newcomersrediscovery for connoisseurs or the perfect travel set for on the go - the Fresh Pack is convincing all along the line.

Taste: Complex, intense, balanced

I tested two samples and both delivered a result that I did not expect. Even the cold smell hints at what is about to come: Variety of aromas, balance and depth. And then, when lighting? Clear the stage for a firework display of the senses.

What a balance! Broadleaf from the USA, binder & filler: Dominican Republic.

The AVO Classic Maduro starts with sweet and nutty notesreminiscent of dark roasted almonds, accompanied by fine roasted aromaswhich provides an excellent Tracing espresso - black, strong, aromatic. In the further course woody tones and a surprisingly intense Umami experience Yes, "meaty" is quite appropriate here.

What makes this cigar so special is the Development during the smoke. It is not a static aroma profile, but a lively interplay that never gets boring. Sometimes the sweetness comes to the fore, then the roasted aromas take over again. It is as if the cigar is communicating with the connoisseur. and she has a lot to say. Ah, I almost forgot: Dark wood is added from the second half onwards. Dark wood!

It glows excellently and evenly.

A cigar that inspires - and a set that convinces

A real treat right to the end!

The AVO Classic Maduro is not a cigar that pushes itself to the fore - it seduced. It is powerful, but not intrusive. Complex, but not overloaded. For me, it is one of the best discoveries of the last few months - and yes: 96 points because it deserves it.

If you want to try them, the Fresh Pack is the ideal opportunity. And if you give them as a gift, you are not only giving away four excellent cigars, but also making a statement: This is about real enjoyment.
