I am usually a fan of AVO cigars. Yesterday I saw at the local Davidoff store AVO Limited Edition 2008 and 80th Anniversary, both at around $33 at the going exchange rate.
I'm a little hesitant to pay price of a Cohiba for something I don't know, even if I want to get a single to try.
Whoever smoked these cigars, I'd appreciate your feedback.

I have had the AVO 80th several times and have a couple om my humi right now. I truly enjoy them. I usually smoke them before dinner with a few friends and some scotch. I find them flavorful yet not too heavy that they make you light headed or nauseas on an empty stomach if that makes since. I usually smoke them to the nub but usually will move on to something else after dinner.

I have a tough time with a $33 cigar. From a measurable standpoint, I highly doubt that this cigar could come anywhere near being twice as good as a PAM.
For $33, I think I have to reach into my 'dor for something like a 2006 Cohiba Piramide EL

"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points." -Don Pepin Garcia

I'm certainly not arguing about the Cohiba, but I would suggest trying the Padron 80th Anni at least once. It is well worth the $, even if it's not a regular smoke. I would also HIGHLY recommend the 40th.
