Davidoff hits the right note with guitar case-inspired cigar line

Oettinger Davidoff has extended the Avo Cigars Limited Edition Improvisations Series with a new edition inspired by a retro guitar case.

The latest 2017 release features 16 cigars in packaging which has a black leather exterior, orange leather interior lid and dual silver clasps. The Avo Limited Edition 2017, limited to 3,650 boxes, is available in the USA and is launching in European and other markets from this month.

“Much like music, sometimes you find the notes, and sometimes the notes find you”: Avo Limited Edition 2017

The Avo Improvisation Limited Edition 2017 is the result of a collaboration between a trio of previously released Avo cigars: Avo Syncro Nicaragua, Avo Syncro Nicaragua Fogata and the Avo Limited Edition 2005. The blend combines the variety of Dominican binder and filler tobaccos used in the Avo Limited Edition 2005 with the Estelí Nicaragua filler tobacco in the Avo Syncro Nicaragua Fogata. It is presented in the 6 x 60 box-pressed format of the Avo Syncro Nicaragua Special Toro.

The latest Avo Limited Edition blend includes seven different tobaccos from three different countries and is said to deliver complex and intense palate stimulation with a balance of cream and spice. The filler tobaccos include Nicaraguan Estelí Ligero and Dominican Seco and Ligero, with a Dominican Olor Zona seven binder leaf and ‘Habano’ Ecuador Marron Claro wrapper.

Oettinger Davidoff  Senior Vice President Chief Marketing Officer Charles Awad said: “When developing the fifth Avo Improvisation blend, the team of Master Blenders wanted to use the foundation of the fifth Avo Limited Edition, the celebrated Avo Limited Edition 2005, to see if it would be possible to craft something extra special.

“The aim was to blend in the filler tobacco from Estelí with multiple flavour notes. The combination worked so well together that a 60-ring gauge format was the proper way to fully showcase this wonderful arrangement, finished in a flawless box-pressed shape.”
