AVO Expresivo
AVO Fusion Event and Sushi
To mark the launch of the NEW AVO Expresivo, we have devised much more than just a tasting. These are genuine pairings, designed to offer a complete tasting experience, where the cigar and the food blend harmoniously around the cigar’s smoke. A quest for the pinnacle of balance by the talented Lionel Da Silva and the Blue Smoke team. Michel Bambula will be presenting this superb AVO Expresivo to us.
A subtle balance is created between the smoky notes of the cigar-smoked dishes and the echoes of the cigar’s aromas, resulting in a sensory experience characterised by finesse and harmony. NB: all cocktails are also available in non-alcoholic versions.
