AVO Cigars has announced a new limited-edition release, the AVO Seasons Limited Edition Series 2023. This is part of a seasonal release that will have one new AVO cigar come out over the course of 2023. Each unique diadema will capture the spirit of the respective time of year with its expertly blended tobaccos and aromas.
In a press release, Edward Simon–chief marketing officer at Oettinger Davidoff–commented: “This special release has been carefully created by our Master Blenders who have worked with tobaccos across multi-faceted origins to craft the perfect seasonal blends. Tobaccos from each cigar can be found from diverse growing regions such as Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, with tobacco aged for up to 14 years. We encourage our aficionados to enjoy each cigar while experiencing a moment unique to each season: walking through a garden in spring, watching the setting sun on a summer evening, feeling the air turn crisp as autumn leaves fall, and sitting by a crackling fire in winter.”
This year, all four editions of this seasonal release will come in 10-count boxes. The packaging design reflects each season individually with respective icons, varnished patterns, and season-typical colors and graphics. Together, all of the boxes will illustrate the flow of one whole year with a visually-connected pattern and theme. The cigars’ respective blends were created from different tobaccos to capture each season with a fitting taste experience. All blends will be presented as a 6 5/8 x 50 diadema cigar. The blend will be medium-bodied in terms of its strength.
The first of this new seasoned-themed release captures the optimistic reawakening that comes after a long and cold winter. In a press release, AVO Cigars describes the upcoming season-themed cigar as follows:
“The smell of spring is imitated by floral notes from the Dominican San Vicente seco and the Hybrid 192 visus tobaccos, which were patiently aged in the Dominican Republic, with one of its special filler tobaccos having aged for 14 years. The light-colored Ecuador Corojo wrapper has a sweetness permeating the experience and reflects the bright colors and feelings of the season through well-balanced flavors of wood, cream, and coffee.
“The cigar reflecting summer is reminiscent of the hot sun that characterizes and shapes the season. This diadema is vibrant, with an intensity level which reflects summer’s ever-present heat. The shiny and dark brown Ecuador Corojo wrapper adds complexity and at the same time delightful notes of pepper, whereas the Dominican filler tobaccos, one aged for 14 years, provide creamy and fruity notes. In the second third, flavors of dark chocolate enhance the overall taste experience.
“In autumn, the feel of cooler temperatures is a refreshing change after a long summer heat. Colors of the fields alter as the days grow shorter. It is a time to reflect upon memories from the past year and to celebrate time-honored traditions. The combination of the San Andres Maduro wrapper, and Dominican filler tobaccos which were aged for up to 14 years, brings out complex notes of dried fruits, mixed nuts, and sweet spice. These notes are uplifted by a lush creaminess.
“Winter is a time of year when things slow down. Hibernation and indoor gatherings are savored. A crackling fireplace, a warming drink, and this beautiful cigar are the perfect combination for cozy moments at the end of the year. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper is as bright as untouched snow, carefully blended with Dominican filler leaves that are aged up to 14 years. The blend delivers herbal, woody notes with a beautiful creaminess and rich, warm hints of baking spice throughout.”
The first release of the AVO Seasons Limited Edition Series 2023 will begin to appear in stores in March 2023. Only 4,000 boxes of these limited-edition releases will be available per edition.
