Avo Cigars announces that the “Avo Expressions 2024” Is now shipping. This highly anticipated blend is a collaboration with world-renowned DJ D-NICE. Only 6,900 boxes containing fifteen cigars were created of this exclusive brand.
The Avo Expressions line of cigars was created with the purpose of collaborating with individuals who are true experts in their craft, following in the footsteps of the late Avo Uvezian, the founder of AVO Cigars. Avo Uvezian was a musician and composer, who later in life skillfully channeled his musical genius into the creation of cigars that reflected his creative talents.
The AVO Expressions 2024 draws artistic inspiration from DJ-Nice’s dynamic world of mixing music, through disc jockeying (DJing), echoing the DJ’s skill by crafting a captivating and stimulating journey, with AVO’s expertise in blending and rolling. To capture the innovative spirit of DJ D-Nice’s artistic creation, AVO has added a Bourbon cask aged filler tobacco, to enrich the blend with delightful caramel notes. The toro’s pigtail concludes the harmonious experience and highlights AVO’s elevated level of craftsmanship.
The taste journey of the 50 ring-gauge toro cigar begins with a harmony of sweet cream and cedar wood, then transitions into a rich blend of coffee and spice, concluding with a smooth trio of caramel, buttercream, and roasted coffee. Just as a DJ curates an evening of music, AVO Expressions has been blended to take aficionados on a comparable journey of taste, evolving elegantly from one note to the next.
