Backstory: Released in March 2018 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the AVO brand (1988-2018). The blend draws inspiration from the AVO Classic No. 3 — described as a 'twist on that blend.' While the Classic uses a Connecticut shade wrapper
the Improvisation 30 Years uses an Ecuadorian Marron wrapper over Dominican binder and fillers. Both cigars share the 7.5 x 50 vitola.
Release: Limited edition — March 2018. **2
400 boxes of 25 cigars** produced (60
000 total cigars).
Backstory: The cigar features a secondary band — orange-trimmed
cream colored with a gold 30 flanked by 1988 and 2018. The box features a pattern designed to resemble the straw hat that was the signature of Avo Uvezian
who passed away in March 2017. The hat pattern includes an orange stripe reminiscent of the hat's band.
Color: Wrapper described as *'lightly tanned shade that reminds me of graham crackers
latte or toffee'* — light brown with some veining. Classified as Colorado Claro.
Tobacco: Blend is a twist on the AVO Classic No. 3 — same Dominican binder and filler
but swaps the Connecticut shade wrapper for an Ecuadorian Marron wrapper.
