Comments on: AVO Maduro http://www.stogiereview.com/2006/09/24/avo-maduro/ Cigar reviews with a video twist Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:37:22 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Steve http://www.stogiereview.com/2006/09/24/avo-maduro/#comment-22406 Steve Sat, 11 Aug 2007 05:14:03 +0000 http://www.stogiereview.com/?p=126#comment-22406 Thanks for the reply Brian, I was just hoping someone out there already knew the time period it took to age certain cigars. I guess only time will tell? I hope at least some of my cigars get to bloom/plume properly. Well, until that time, I guess we both have to wait. You have to try that avo maduro I smoked. This cigar was out of this world. Thanks for the reply Brian,

The only thing you can give a cigar that will increase its chances of forming plume is lots of time. Check this <a href="http://www.vitolas.net/displayimage.php?pos=-446" target="blank" rel="nofollow">example</a> of plume from vitolas.net (thanks Andrew) and compare it to this <a href="http://www.vitolas.net/displayimage.php?pos=-927" target="blank" rel="nofollow">example</a> of mold that is often mistaken for plume for a little further education. Steve,

Really smooth, sweet flavor, with a kick to boot. I smoked it all the way to the end until I burn my finger tips. I've been hooked ever since. I've been craving this particular cigar, so I went to a local cigar shop here in Hawaii and inquired about how to plume/blume an avo maduro. I was told it wasn't common for a cigar to plume. He told me from his personal experience (over 20 years of aging cigars) that less than 5% actually plumes. I really hope that he's wrong because I've been aging some for about 7 months now. Bottomline: I want to get my avo's to plume. If anyone out there got any information/advice about pluming cigars, I would really appreciate it. Thanks Steve Greeting everyone,

They're both smooth and mild maduros. I think either would be a great entry to a maduro cigar for any smoker. I agree Dave, I liken the AVO Maduro to the Ashton Aged Maduro.

Good review Brian. I like Avo cigars but they are a bit pricey but I enjoy the heck out of them when I smoke them. They are very consistent and well constructed but tend to be on the mild side. The Avo Maduro is my favorite Avo cigar and has a nice mild sweetness to it that I like but certainly not a strong Maduro. But always well constructed. Dave Hey, I missed seeing the review before.

I liked this cigar, the best in the Avo lineup. Very smooth to the nub. I agree with the review, I need to find my hemostat ! I liked this cigar, the best in the Avo lineup. Very smooth to the nub.

I think these would make a good morning smoke with some coffee. Hey Trent – thanks for reading, I have no doubt you’ll enjoy those Robustos.
