Quick Smoke: Avo Heritage Short Corona

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.”

Prior to Davidoff’s remake of the Avo brand I picked up a box of the Heritage line in this small Short Corona (3.6 x 43) format. (The size seems to have been a casualty of the brand makeover, but the blend remains the same, albeit with updated packaging and bands.) Heritage features a sun-grown Ecuadorian wrapper, Dominican binder, and a combination of Dominican and Peruvian filler. The medium- to full-bodied cigar is both leathery and woodsy with light spice. It provides a 30-minute jolt of flavor that’s perfect for when you’re short on time.

Verdict = Buy.
