Quick Smoke: Avo Heritage Robusto
3 Sep 2011
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€

The Heritage line, introduced in the summer of 2010, may be the fullest-bodied regular production cigar in the Avo portfolio. But that doesn’t mean it trades strength for substance. The Robusto (4.9 x 50) still has plenty of subtlety to go along with its boldness, with notes of leather, mushroom, bread, and black pepper as the most dominant flavors. The aftertaste is especially spicy. I paid $7.50 for this Ecuadorian-wrapped cigar at my local tobacconist in Chicago, and I didn’t experience any buyer’s remorse.
Verdict = Buy.

Great cigar couldn't agree more. My favorite Avo Heritage is the short robusto.
I'm with Joey on this one. Those Avo Heritage Short Robusto cigars really surprised me — a great flavorful, well constructed, consistent smoke and, IMO, an exceptional value.
