Quick Smoke: Avo Syncro Nicaragua Toro

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

From the gorgeous, dark Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper to the satisfying final puffs, this new release is, for me, one of the finest regular production lines from Avo. The blend, with Nicaraguan Ometepe, Dominican, and Peruvian filler, begins with a peppery kick. Along the way, the slow-burning, box-pressed Toro (6 x 54, $10) mixes in an undertone of nuts, a little hay, cedar, and some occasional sweetness. A fine cigar.

Verdict = Buy.
