AVO Expresivo Toro
The AVO Expresivo Toro features the same blend as the Expresivo range, the first from AVO to be rolled in Honduras: an Ecuadorian wrapper, a Honduran binder and a filler blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco.
The Toro size (15.2 cm, ring gauge 54) allows the blend to open up more fully than the Robusto. The profile remains full-bodied and well-balanced: spicy notes at the start, followed by dried fruit, and a floral hint on the finish. Allow around 80 minutes; ideally served with a grilled rib of beef or a peated whisky.
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.
