AVO Signature Series - Double Corona

 
Strength:  medium
Origins:  Dominican Republic
Wrapper:  Ecuadorian Sun Grown
Shape:  straight
Length:  7"
Ring size:  50

Bdawg says:  Avo cigars in a super-premium, Limited Edition selection. Avo Signature Double Corona Natural cigars are blended from four distinct Dominican leaves, plus a four-year-aged San Vicente ligero binder for even richer flavor. These full-bodied cigars are mantled in a silky-smooth, extra flavorful Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper leaf used exclusively for this series.  

That being said, I was not impressed.  The wrapper is medium brown and well constructed.  The draw is slightly tight, producing a grey ah.  The flavor started out very grassy, and then became muddy.  About a third of the way through, the cigar went out!  It took considerable effort to relight.  But once relit the burn remained even.
