The AVO Expresivo Toro is part of the new Expresivo line from AVO Cigars. Launched this year, the Expresivo marks the first time a regular production AVO has been manufactured outside the Dominican Republic, with production moved to Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A.

The blend is built around a multi-terroir filler combining an Ecuadorian wrapper over a Honduran binder. The filler consists of Honduran tobacco from the Jamastran Valley, with Nicaraguan leaf from Jalapa and from Condega.

The wrapper is of a Colorado Maduro hue, oily with a bit of tooth to the touch. The filling is generous and uniform.

AVO Expresivo Toro: the cold draw reveals clean tobacco with spicy nuances. Once lit, the opening delivers cream, nuts, and black pepper.

In the first third, the black pepper moves to the retrohale. A cappuccino note is added alongside subtle nutty and earthy aromas. The strength is medium (3/5).

Leather is added in the second third, accompanied by a balsamic nuance. The strength remains unchanged (3/5).

In the final third, the black pepper returns to the foreground, accompanied by a sour cream nuance. A light harshness creeps in as well. The strength grows to medium-full (4/5).
