Review: AVO 787

RichardW · 01-11-2009, 08:06 PM

This cigar has been around for a while, but it is new for me and I was gifted one by one of the local boys (thanks, Bill!) and received one in a recent NST trade (thanks, Vin!)

Cigar: AVO 787
Size: Perfecto 50 x 5 7/8"
Country: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Ecuadoran Connecticut
Filler: DR
Flavor Strength: medium
Suspected Age: N/A
Hype:

Avo 787 cigars represent one of Avo Uvezian & Hendrik Kelner's most exquisite and flavorful cigars ever. Introduced in 2007, the Avo 787 selection is blended with an all-Dominican longfiller tobacco core bound in San Vicente leaf, and flawlessly rolled in a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Expect an exceptionally creamy, complex, and medium-bodied smoke brimming with toasty flavors of nuts, coffee, and a sweet, enticing aroma. A 'must' for Avo fanatics and all lovers of fine cigars.

This perfecto has wonderful pre-light tobacco aromas of wood, earth, and spice and a nearly flawless milk-chocolate colored wrapper. Sorry that I didn't take photos -- maybe next time

This figurado begins with sharp, earthy flavors similar to the Davidoff Millennium blend and opens into smooth, round flavors of coffee and nuts with a long smooth finish. The final third ramps up with a stronger woody and spicy finish. At times there was a slight hint of mint. A complex, enjoyable cigar. Thanks, Bin and Bill

Those PNW boy's write nice reviews. The 787 does not toot my horn as much as some of the other AVO's. You need to give the 80th a try...heck next I wander down to SJ's on a Tuesday night I'll bring you one to try.
