"Why do these cigars taste so good? The answer lies in the sublime collaboration of two men, Avo Uvezian and Henkie Kellner. Avo is composer par excellence; Henkie is a tobacco man’s tobacco man. Avo had the vision of a cigar that would delight the palate with the subtle nuances of a perfectly harmonious blending of flavors. Henkie, an admitted “taste fanatic,” provided the cigar-making know-how. He has a map in his blending room of the region where his tobacco is grown and describes soil chemistry and weather information. He uses this information to optimize the use of each farm’s tobacco, creating the blend giving AVO cigars their unmistakable, creamy smoothness. In cigar-making, as in most pursuits, there’s no substitute for doing your homework and that’s what he and Avo do. Avo and Henkie do make beautiful music together. Try a 10-pack of AVO cigars for a real smoking treat" |
