AVO The Dominant 13th Review


The AVO Dominant 13th is another Limited Edition AVO with a background that contains a music theme.  The Cigar's come in boxes of 13, and the box is made to look like a musical book, with the Music from one of Avo Uvezian's songs.  In addition, the box contains a flash drive, with Music content from Mr. Uvezian as well.  It comes in one size, and that is a 6 inch, 52 ring Toro.  I lit it up and some very bold and deep tobacco flavors hit my palate.  As I continued to puff away, some subtle dark chocolate/coffee tones started to form and peak out under the main profile.  About halfway in some leather notes gradually become stronger and provided a very bold finish to the cigar.  The draw was excellent.  I had zero construction issues.  The burn was wavy but mostly even.  The ash held for a very long time.  The smoke was smooth, but was was a lot less creamy than most AVO cigars.  The Dominant 13th is a very bold, strong, and rich cigar. It is definitely satisfying, especially to a mature palate.  The limited edition Dominant 13th has an MSRP around $15 dollars per cigar.  While it isn't my favorite AVO release of all-time, it is a very good cigar.
