No Comments »Q & A with Jose Blanco
Posted by acigarsmoker on June 28th, 2011
News recently rocked the cigar world that Jose Blanco was stepping down from his position at La Aurora and retiring. Now that the dust has settled we got to catch up with Jose Blanco who is currently enjoying himself on a European vacation. During our brief conversation, one can read between the lines and say he left the door open a bit for a return to the cigar industry and this might not be the end of his career.

Posted by acigarsmoker on April 6th, 2011
From the Avo 85th Press Release, “Cigar luminary Avo Uvezian is celebrating his 85th birthday with the release of his Limited Edition Anniversary Cigar, the “85th”. The “85th” marks the tenth annual limited edition release from AVO Cigars, a tradition the legendary cigar composer started to commemorate since his 75th birthday. The “85th Anniversary” presents itself in a majestic and charming cigar format – a noble “Diademas” – and is limited to 100,000 cigars worldwide with 60,000 cigars for the US market..”
As a fan of both the last 2 Limited Editions, I was eagerly looking forward to this release and hoped it made for a nice trifecta.

I wasn’t going to post this, but it contains updated blend information. Despite being told by Edward Simon directly it was a Dominican Puro, news officially comes out today that it won’t. I welcome this since the cigar now contains my personal favorite, Peruvian tobacco…

A week ago I was contacted by the brand manager of AVO Cigars with the press release for the new AVO Limited Edition 2010 cigar, also known as the AVO LE10. Mr. Simon then reached out to me a few days later saying he
was sending me a care package of AVO Cigars for my enjoyment. Some of these cigars will make it into review, the first being the AVO LE10 which is based upon two samples.
