Introduced in 2026, the Expresivo collection represents the first AVO cigar range manufactured in Honduras, bringing a distinctive Central American character to a brand traditionally associated with Dominican cigar production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eMeasuring 5\" with a 52 ring gauge, the Expresivo Robusto features a silky Ecuadorian wrapper surrounding a Honduran binder and a carefully selected combination of Honduran and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. Handmade at Davidoff's Honduran manufacturing facility, the cigar brings together tobacco from the Jamastrán Valley in Honduras and the celebrated Nicaraguan growing regions of Jalapa and Condega.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eDesigned to deliver greater intensity while preserving the balance associated with AVO Cigars, the Expresivo Robusto offers a medium-to-full flavour profile characterised by earth, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, leather and warming spice. Its compact yet substantial Robusto format provides an engaging smoking experience of approximately 45-60 minutes, allowing the blend's distinctive characteristics to develop throughout the session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavour Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe AVO Expresivo Robusto opens with rich earthy tobacco, dark chocolate and roasted nuts, introducing a depth of flavour that immediately distinguishes it from the brand's traditionally milder expressions. The Honduran tobaccos contribute a pronounced earthy foundation and warming spice, while the Ecuadorian wrapper brings an elegant balance to the opening profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eAs the cigar progresses, creamy leather and woody notes emerge alongside roasted coffee and subtle natural sweetness. Nicaraguan tobaccos from Jalapa and Condega contribute additional complexity, helping to balance the richer characteristics with a rounded texture and delicate aromatic nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eTowards the final third, the Expresivo Robusto develops a more pronounced spicy character, complemented by hints of dried fruit and subtle floral notes. Dark chocolate, earth and leather remain present throughout, creating a layered finish that combines the cigar's fuller intensity with the refinement and balance associated with AVO's blending philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal for Discerning Aficionados\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe AVO Expresivo Robusto is particularly appealing to cigar enthusiasts seeking a richer interpretation of the AVO portfolio. Its medium-to-full flavour profile offers greater depth and intensity than many of the brand's traditional expressions, making it an excellent choice for aficionados who appreciate Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eWith its 5\" x 52 Robusto dimensions, the cigar offers a balanced combination of smoking duration and flavour concentration. The progression from earthy chocolate and roasted nuts to creamy leather, spice and dried fruit makes it well suited to a relaxed evening or an occasion when there is time to appreciate the blend's developing complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eFor established AVO enthusiasts, the Expresivo Robusto provides an opportunity to explore the brand's first Honduran-made collection. For those discovering AVO for the first time, it offers a distinctive introduction to the company's evolving approach to premium cigar craftsmanship and contemporary blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout AVO Cigars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eAVO Cigars was founded by Avo Uvezian, the Armenian-American jazz pianist, composer and cigar enthusiast whose passion for music and craftsmanship helped establish one of the premium cigar industry's most recognisable brands. Working alongside master cigar makers, Uvezian developed a portfolio built around balance, consistency and the enjoyment of life's memorable moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe brand became closely associated with Dominican cigar production and the expertise of Oettinger Davidoff, developing a reputation for refined tobacco blends and carefully considered smoking experiences. Its established collections reflect Uvezian's appreciation of harmony, drawing parallels between the composition of music and the blending of premium cigars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eIn 2026, the year marking the centenary of Avo Uvezian's birth, AVO introduced the Expresivo collection as a significant development in its history. Rather than a dedicated anniversary release, Expresivo became a new regular-production range, introducing Honduran manufacturing and a fuller flavour profile to the brand's portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe AVO Expresivo Robusto embodies this new direction, combining an Ecuadorian wrapper with Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos to deliver a rich, expressive smoking experience. It reflects the brand's commitment to evolving its cigar collections while maintaining the craftsmanship, balance and character that have defined AVO for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Surrey Cigars","offers":[{"title":"Single Cigar","offer_id":57634483339644,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Box of 20 Cigars","offer_id":57634483372412,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5907\/9100\/files\/IMG_9204.jpg?v=1791636134"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5907\/9100\/collections\/AVO-Cigars-Logo-Surrey-Cigars.webp?v=1791809477","url":"https:\/\/www.surreycigars.com\/collections\/avo.oembed","provider":"Surrey Cigars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
