Avo Tesoro

I received two Tesoro's from two friends, after sitting in a humidor for a few weeks I took them out to smoke. I found them to be a bit mild for the first inch and a half with hints of spice, some citrus, and cocoa. The cigar really builds in intensity and flavor and develops into a medium bodied cigar, with hints of chocolate, leather, freshly ground coffee beans, a touch of spice, and some earth. The cigar burned evenly and had a solid ash, and each lasted a good hour and a half. I'd have to say its a cross between a 787, XO, and an AVO-22, a true multidimensional cigar.

Perhaps the best of the LEs? Pre-light hits you with that signature Avo mustiness (again, not unappealing) but the taste veers off from there. There is spice and sweetness but not too much of either. This is a nice cigar. Perfect burn, nice white ash and great flavor and aroma. Medium strength. I would describe this cigar as a cross between a Signature and a 787, but better than each - smoother and tastier but less strong.
