Name: Avo Classic No. 6 Gordo
Country: Dominican Republic
Shape: Parejo
Size: Gordo (6 inches x 60)
Strength: Medium
This Avo cigar is pretty smooth. I like it. I’m smoking it on the terrace late in the evening.
It’s medium-bodied and easy to smoke. But it doesn’t lack complexity. It’s flavorful with hints of milky chocolate, cedar, and toffee. Some buttery and vegetal notes can also be detected. It has a great draw and its smoke is thick and creamy.
Good stuff.
Name: Casa Turrent 1880
Country: Mexico
Shape: Parejo
Size: (6 1/2 inches x 54)
Strength: Medium
Some cigars are just better than others.
The Casa Turrent 1880 is a superb cigar with chocolaty and earthy notes. It kept me company for a couple of hours on Saturday night. I paired it with blended Scotch whisky, and, I must add, I had quite a few drinks…
The smell of the cigar reminded me of campfire mixed with petrichor. It reminded me of when I was a boy scout. I believe I was smiling all the time.
It was a refreshing night. We were at an outdoor bar. The sea was beside us reflecting the moonlight. And a cool breeze caressed us every now and then. It felt like summer was finally coming to an end. But there was nothing to be sad about.
The music was loud, and my heart danced with the beat.
Name: Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Maduro
Country: Nicaragua
Shape: Parejo
Size: Robusto (5 inches x 54)
Strength: Full
A couple of weeks ago, I had my first Oliva Serie V cigar, and I liked it very much. I had promised myself to pair the next one with coffee. Unfortunately, but also fortunately, I paired it with Troubadour Imperial Stout. It was a great success.
The Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Maduro is a Nicaraguan cigar with a San Andres Maduro wrapper. Pairing it with stout helped bring out strong notes of dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, and oak.
It’s a rich cigar, and I enjoyed its complexity. I will definitely smoke more Oliva Serie V cigars.
