Avo is a top seller throughout the world. If you’re a fan of medium-full bodied cigars I highly recommend a five pack of short torpedos. This very unique size is rarely found and produces an immediate satisfying robust taste. When you don’t have the time to have a large cigar, this little guy is a pleasure to enjoy!
