Avo Syncro Nicaragua Fogata
$40.00 – $279.00Avo Syncro Nicaragua Fogata is a round size variant of the box-pressed Avo Syncro Nicaragua, which debuted in 2015.
The Nicaragua Fogata has an exquisite Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper encasing a Mexican San Andrés binder along with an extensive array of Dominican Republic and Nicaragua tobaccos. To say this blend is complex would be an understatement.
The results are as expected. Noted reviewer KATMAN rates it a 90. His take…”It is smooth. Transitions are the best since I first lit the cigar. The finish is long and luxurious.” Halfwheel ups the score to 91 with great words. “The construction remains amazing in just about all aspects and the smoke production is outrageous.” Cigar Coop feels this cigar is a smoke recommended to either a novice or experienced cigar enthusiast. Cigar Aficionado says this cigar smokes evenly, showcasing elements of rich woods, spice and a touch of eucalyptus with a spicy finish.
No doubt that this Syncro is another winner from this storied brand. The Short Torpedo is a top pick!

Saint Luis Rey Natural Broadleaf
$23.00 – $180.72This brand started in Cuba in 1940 and is still being made there. When Cigar Giant Altadis acquired the name for the US, production went from the Dominican Republic to Honduras where it remains. As time passed the brand began to evolve attracting new smokers. This edition was launched in 2017 and is a special one. Those of us that know this brand understand what full bodied smokes are.
The great part of this one is that it is literally packed with tobacco to the point of it feeling hard to the touch. This is one of the slowest burning, best drawing sticks around. The blend yields a very robust tasting mixture of sweetness and spice that increases as you move along.
