日内瓦大卫杜夫公司从2015年开始每年发布一次AVO即兴表演系列( Improvisation 2022),今年发售的2022版是这个系列的第十个版本,也是最后一个版本,标志着这个产品线的落幕。上周这款雪茄已经向零售商发货。
今年发售的版本有两款不一样的烟叶混合,盛放在黑色金色装饰的包装盒里,两款雪茄交替摆放,茄衣颜色一深一浅形成交错,让人想起钢琴的黑白键盘。
深色茄衣的这款使用的是厄瓜多尔康涅狄格烟叶,茄套和茄芯是多米尼加烟叶。黑色茄衣的那款使用的茄衣也产自厄瓜多尔,茄套是墨西哥烟叶,茄芯是多米尼加、尼加拉瓜的混合烟叶。雪茄是在多米尼加的OK雪茄厂卷制的。
这两款雪茄都是55环径,5.5英寸,大罗布图(Robusto Grande)型号,在美国的每支零售价是16美元。每盒22支装,一共生产1500盒,只在美国市场销售。
2015年AVO即兴表演系列发售是为了纪念该品牌已故创始人阿沃乌维奇(Avo Uvezian)的生日,阿沃曾经是一位著名的音乐人,1987年认识了大卫杜夫公司的亨德里克,合作创建了AVO这个雪茄品牌。阿沃在2017年去世。

Avo Improvisation 2022 Now in Shops, Final Release From the Series
It’s the end of an era. The Avo Improvisation Series, which Davidoff of Geneva started in 2015, has come to a close with the release of the new Avo Improvisation 2022. This is the tenth and final act of the jazzy, limited-edition line, and shipped to retailers late last week.
There are two different blends for this release, almost something of a double encore. Inside the black and gold boxes, the cigars are arranged in an alternating pattern of light and dark wrappers, reminiscent of the black and white keys of a piano.
The Avo Improvisation 2022 White consists of an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper with Dominican binder and fillers, whereas the Avo Improvisation 2022 Black is rolled with a much darker wrapper (also from Ecuador), a Mexican binder and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The cigars are rolled in the Dominican Republic at the OK Cigars factory.
Called Robusto Grandes, both cigars measure 5 1/2 inches by 55 ring gauge and have a suggested retail price of $16 each. Only 1,500 boxes of 22 cigars are slated for the U.S. market.
The Avo Improvisation series first kicked off in 2015 to commemorate the birthday (March 22) of the brand’s late founder, musician and cigar-lover Avo Uvezian, who passed away in 2017.
