\"nfcA fantastic sunny day, great weather, finally hot sun, a hint of summer, an open air Alsatian restaurant in a small hamlet next to the village, friends and a box of good cigars – what more can you ask for ?<\/span><\/p>\n

Stefan, one of the friends smoking at the pharmacy, is a fan of Avo Uvezian cigars. <\/span><\/p>\n

I have a box of almost 10 year old Avo Legacy cigars I bought in April 2004 – my only and last box of Non Cuban cigars in my cigar collection, so I offered to break it open and smoke them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Made reservations at Herve for steaks yesterday and the weather was with us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also with us was Reiner recovering from his surgery and our wives.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a long evening outside, enjoying the hot atmosphere and the dark blue nightfall outside.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a Siglo I and some hors d’ouvre we dug into the wonderful tender steaks washed down with a chewy dry French red – delicious dinner as always.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then the box was passed around and the cigars lighted.<\/span><\/p>\n

I must admit I am quite reassured by my storage methods – again – as the box has been in my airtight metal lockers for almost 10 years now and the cigars were in optimum condition for smoking after taking them out earlier that morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Avo Legacy was perfectly made, a masterpiece compared to the sometimes erratic Cuban rolling quality, as was to be expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perfect draw, burn, ash, everything perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

My first Non Cuban this year and one of the few NC’s I smoke – last year I only smoked 30 NC’s out of almost 1.400 cigars, so 99% Cuban for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I enjoyed the creaminess and mild consistency of the Avo but missed the aromas, the complexity and the changing phases of a Habano.<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all a very good cigar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Would I pay 11 \u20ac ( the price back in 2004 ) for this cigar again ? I guess not for a Dominican cigar, with all due respect for this quality. <\/span><\/p>\n

I do believe Habanos are superior and suit my taste better, but that is just my very personal opinion.
\nWould I repeat the evening and my beloved Cr\u00e8me brulee – most certainly !<\/span><\/p>\n
