AVO Classic n°2

The AVO Classic No. 2 is the Toro of the Classic range: 15.2 cm with a ring gauge of 50. Rolled in the Dominican Republic, it combines a light, silky Connecticut wrapper from Ecuador with a Dominican binder and filler, including a leaf aged for 25 years, the hallmark of the entire Classic range.

The result of a collaboration between Avo Uvezian and Davidoff’s master blenders, this is a well-balanced cigar: mild to medium in strength, creamy, with notes of nut and wood, a hint of coffee and a slightly earthy undertone. The Toro size allows it time to develop, taking nearly an hour.

Tasting menu

Pairing

A café crème complements its creamy texture and nutty notes. At the end of the day, an amber rum or a non-peated whisky pairs well with it without overpowering it.

Momentum

A quiet hour on the terrace or after a light meal, when you fancy a well-rounded, consistent cigar that leaves room for conversation.

About Avo

Avo Uvezian, born in Beirut in the 1920s to music-loving parents, began his career as a musician at a very young age. He travelled as far as New York to play in various bands and to study piano and musical composition.

It was in 1983, whilst travelling to Switzerland for his daughter’s christening, that Avo enjoyed a Cuban cigar to round off his meal. Taken aback by the price, he allowed himself to be persuaded by his friends that he should produce his own cigars.

Avo then set off on a journey to the Dominican Republic in search of a factory that would suit him. It was two years later that he met Hendrik Kelner, and after sampling a few cigars, their collaboration could finally begin.

Nearly ten years later, Davidoff acquired the distribution rights to the brand.
