"My current favorite"
Just an amazing smoke. This has set the new standard in my book, defining what a medium-mild cigar should be.

"My old favorite"
I used to be a loyal fan of the XOs in any shape. I lit one up today and it was the same consistent smoke I remember. I would say on the light-medium side with a light finish. Creamy and woodsy.

"Very Good"
I bought this cigar in a 4 pack. It had nice color and texture, and overall, very good construction. The burn was also very good. The medium bodied flavor was nice, and it seeed very cedary to me. Lots of creamy smoke. Overall, a very good cigar.

"Great Smoke"
This is a decent looking cigar, which was well constructed. It was light colored and had a light weight to it. The draw was wonderful. There was plenty of smoke. The XO Maestoso is a medium bodied smoke with sufficient variations in flavor and more nicotine than I anticipated from it. Cedar wafered in and out. Additionally there was a pleasant flavor that I could not identify, which had a creamy quality to it. I really enjoyed the smoke, and I look forward to many more.

"Great smoke."
At first, a very heavy cedar taste dominates your palate. However, it fades into a milder cedar taste, with equal hints of leather. It has a smooth, creamy taste. This smoke ends up having a sweet taste, with complexity. My humidor is 80% maduros, yet this is one of my favorites. I keep plenty of these around.

"Great Flavor & Taste"
A great cigar that I will mark down as one of my favorites. Strong sweet cedar taste which had a perfect draw and burn. Smoked two and now am out to buy a box. Best of the Avo line I have tried.

"I Loved It"
I was pleasantly surprised by the Avo XO. I picked it up in a 12 pk assortment and really loved it. Nice even burn throughout, a very wonderful mild to medium flavor that hung in there throughout the entire smoke. Excellent aroma with no harsh or bad taste afterwards. About an hour later when I was done, I was wishing it was longer!!

"The last half"
I enjoyed this cigar very much until I was half way through it, that is when you get the fuzzy end of the lollypop. The tast was good although nothing in particular stands out in it. The burn was a bit uneven and the draw was good. The second half of the cigar left a really bad taste with a heavy cedar taste that made me put it out shortly after

"Not bad"
Not bad. Better cigars for better prices though. Mild to medium bodied. Good construction as you would expect, with a fairly straightforward flavor profile. Dont expect anything great, but you wont be disappointed

"Meaty"
A thick, meaty cigar that goes well with a single malt scotch. The aroma of cedar hung thick in the air.

"The test"
Bought 4 of them, and the first one was superb. Nice overtones, and a medium to strong taste. Bit expensive, but, hey....

I tried 3 of this same cigar. The most enjoyable was smoked while watching the sunset from a hillside. I had not eaten anything for several hours, but I had a very nice scotch just prior to my smoke. Ecstasy!

Feels light. Nice wrapper. Draw on the easy side. Light bodied. Tastes a little rough for a vintage cigar. Burns a little uneven. For the price, I'll pass next time.

This was pretty much what you would expect from a premium cigar. Good taste, a touch tinny on a hard draw.
