Since 2001, the AVO brand has released a specific limited edition cigar to celebrate its namesake’s birthday on March 22, and over the years, that lineup has included some legendary cigars. Late last year, Davidoff announced plans to not only rebrand the AVO line, but also to slim down the number of releases in the portfolio, essentially cutting it in half. As part of that effort, it was revealed that there would be no AVO birthday release this year; instead, a new limited edition brand would be released. Dubbed the AVO Improvisation Series, the new series gets its name from the improvised nature of jazz. The first release in the AVO Improvisation Series is the AVO Classic Covers 2015 Limited Edition, a 6 x 50 toro that incorporates the Ecuadorian 702 wrapper, a San Andrés binder from Mexico, along with ligero from two different countries: Ometempe, Nicaragua and piloto ligero, San Vicente ligero, hybrid corojo/olor ligero and criollo ligero filler from the Dominican Republic. The MSRP for each cigar is $16, and it is sold in boxes of 16, with only 3,500 boxes produced.
