AVO Heritage Lancero (7 x 36) is a cigar for those who demand a complex, fuller-bodied experience from tobaccos of the highest caliber. It features Dominican binder and Dominican/Peruvian filler tobaccos encased in an Ecuadoran Sungrown wrapper – the same one used in Avo Uvezian’s famous “Companero” Limited Edition cigar. Lanceros are hard to find these days which is why AVO decided to deliver with this delicious line.

The Heritage Series of AVO is a remarkable, medium to full-bodied blend that pays homage to the farmers, blenders, and rollers responsible for making AVO one of the industry’s premier, super-premium brands. Avo Uvezian worked side by side with cigar-making legend Hendrik ‘Henke’ Kelner to select the finest Cuban-seed, Ecuadorian sun-grown wrappers attainable, and combine a robust mixture of Cuban-seed Dominican long-fillers inside. The result is a satisfying series of rich, complex flavors delivered in smooth, balanced fashion. The core is creamy with notes of toast and cocoa, and a touch of sweet cedar and subtle spices on the finish.

AVO Heritage Series was awarded a 90-point rating, noting: “A very dark and oily cigar that smokes evenly. It starts out a bit papery but warms to show a woody, leathery character and apple-like sweetness.”
