Is that a Syncro? I've yet to try one and am really curious as to what they are like. Avo is one of the few NC cigars I still truly enjoy smoking every once in a while so would love to get your thoughts on it. May just have to pick up a 5 pack from CI to give them a shot.

It is the Synrco. It's medium bodied, well at least this one was after resting for a year. Not a typical Nicaraguan pepper bomb, although one still does get pepper early on. I like it. Even as a box press, this one burned very well. My only complaint was that it started out weak when it came to smoke output. I found myself double puffing a bit. About a 1/3 of the way in that improved.

Sounds like something I should look for locally and try one of before buying a 5er lol

Enjoyed a '14 Monte #4 last night.

Avo XO intermezzo that my wife got for me last Christmas on my way home from work. Forgot I'd buried them in the bottom of the humidor. Excellent mild-medium cigar.

Had a couple of Upmann HC's on the way to and from dinner last night. Think from '14, like smoking a damp walnut shell when I first got them but they are really starting to open up. Still kind of sharp/tight flavorwise but so promising that I buried the rest in my humi to forget about for a couple more years.

 

[57Strat]

forget about for a couple more years.

Hope yours turn out as good as the ones from '11.

Today's smoke is a monte 444. Very tight draw. Winters coming yet I might have to let this box sit awhile.
