The Avo line of premium cigars has its roots firmly planted before the cigar boom of the mid 90s. Like most good things, Avo cigars were born of a chance meeting between composer and entrepreneur, Avo Uvezian and master cigar maker Hendrik Kelner of Davidoff fame. The details of their first meeting in the Dominican Republic are a little fuzzy, but the two became close friends and developed a cigar together that bore Avo’s name. The 1st cigars were sold in 1987 in New York, and they quickly gained notoriety for their delicate, well balanced flavors. Uvezian approached blending like composing, understanding how different components affected the overall to finished product. Kelner worked hand in hand with him to bring his visions to life. He also convinced Avo to let Davidoff handle his distribution and eventually purchase the brand. Though Avo passed away a few years ago, the brand continues to create masterful blends that are well received.
The AVO Heritage cigars are a wonderful medium-to-full bodied smoke. It was designed by Henke Kelner and Avo Uvezian to honor the farmers, blenders and torcedors who toil passionately to make the AVO brands. AVO Heritage is a blend of top grade Dominican tobaccos for the filler and binder. It is topped off with a gorgeous, oily Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper. AVO Heritage is rich and complex with notes of chocolate and cedar that finishes with a hint of spice. The AVO Heritage is the best AVO cigar yet!
