AVO Classic Piramides - Box of 20

Piramides is the tapered expression of the blend that launched the Avo brand. At 7 inches, the cigar narrows to a 36 ring gauge at the foot and widens to 54 at the head, a true pyramid shape that concentrates flavor early and opens gradually as the smoke develops. The construction is identical to the rest of the Avo Classic line: five carefully selected Dominican tobaccos for the filler, a Dominican binder, and a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, the combination that earned the Classic line its 90-point Cigar Aficionado rating.

The tapered format changes how the blend presents itself compared to a straight-sided parejo. The opening draws deliver a light sweetness with a rich, aromatic character, settling into an earthy base as the cigar widens. Cream and toasted nuts build through the middle third, with gentle spice threading through, before the smoke closes on a smooth, balanced richness. Cigar Aficionado's own tasting notes for the Classic line describe a sweet tea quality complemented by graham cracker, picking up modest intensity as it progresses, a description that holds consistently across this vitola.

Construction is generally well-regarded, a flawless draw and consistent burn are the norm, though a pyramid shape inherently demands more attention when lighting and cutting than a standard parejo. This is a slower, more deliberate smoke by design, well suited to an unhurried session where the shape's gradual flavor progression can actually be appreciated.
