Among the small selection of half coronas purchased today in the Liverpool shop I asked for a recommendation for a Connecticut wrapped cigar and young David led me to this Davidoff second string Avo XO Preludio, which I smoked in the evening after a leasurly meal. From the outset it seemed a mild, lightly wrapped cigar with an easy draw, whose flavours of white pepper really developed in the last third. It held its ash well throughout and had no hint of bitterness, keeping a cool and even smoke to the last inch. Couldn't really agree with the rating of medium-full, which I wasn't looking for, my preference being a medium flavoured cigar. In short, a forty minute episode of sheer bliss and lustre, with my thanks for such a helpful recommendation. I'm glad I bought the tubed version for my case also, if I remember to look for it!
