Avo Maduro Piramide
#1
The Avo Maduro Piramide has been one of my favorite cigars for years.  I haven't had one in maybe a year.  I haven't been smoking much lately, so I thought I'd give it a try and see if it held up to my evolving tastes.  It did not disappoint.

This is a beautiful torpedo, a bit longer than your standard #2 size.  The wrapper is a nice, even dark chocolate brown.  I've found them to be very consistent over the years.  I clipped mine with about a 3/8", which yielded a smooth, open draw, but not too loose.  The body was medium.  A perfect light yielded an absolutely straight burn throughout it's 50 minute duration.  The flavors were woody, creamy cocoa, with a hint of cinnamon, and a spice that begins subtely, but crescendos evenly as the cigar progresses.  This was not a strong cigar.

Very tasty overall, but maybe lacking in depth just a bit.  There's not too much to complain about, as this is one of the best cigars you can get for $6-7.  Still a favorite after all these years.

Nice review.  I once tried one of these with a year in the humidor and it had to have been the smoothest, creamiest smoking cigars I have ever had.Smile

I have never tried any of the AVO cigars as I have heard all of them tend to be realy mild. Is this true for the Maduros too. I just recieved a couple of these and just letting them rest before trying one.

Nice review, keep them coming.

I would not classify their maduros as mild.... they are more of a medium bodies cigar.

I'd call this one a medium flavored cigar.  It's probably one of the stronger tasting cigars in their line.

I'm always amazed when I find there's a cigar that Uncle Bob hasn't tried yet.  Alright, you asked for it ...

The Avo regular line and XO line are mild, The Avo Signature and Domaine are med-full cigars (The avo Sig is the Avo 75 put into regular prodution)
