AVO Expressions Limited Edition 2024

The AVO Expressions 2024 cigar is a tribute to art and music, inspired by various artistic expressions. Founded by Avo Uvezian, jazz pianist and composer, AVO Cigars reflects his musical creativity and unique taste preferences. This cigar is a collaboration with DJ D-Nice, merging music and cigar tasting.

Presented in a distinctive wooden box inspired by sound waves, the AVO Expressions Limited Edition 2024 is limited to 6,900 boxes of 15 cigars, 1,000 of which are destined for Switzerland. This cigar is distinguished by its precise roll and pigtail finish. With its beautiful size (16.5cm / 50), it will offer a generous smoke for over an hour.

This toro is composed of an elegant Ecuadorian wrapper, a Mexican binder and a filler made from leaves from the Dominican Republic and the United States. The tobacco aged in bourbon barrels adds warm notes of caramel, creating a perfect balance between strength and smoothness.

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.
