日內(nèi)瓦大衛(wèi)杜夫公司從2015年開始每年發(fā)布一次AVO即興表演系列( Improvisation 2022),今年發(fā)售的2022版是這個系列的第十個版本,也是最后一個版本,標(biāo)志著這個產(chǎn)品線的落幕。上周這款雪茄已經(jīng)向零售商發(fā)貨。
今年發(fā)售的版本有兩款不一樣的煙葉混合,盛放在黑色金色裝飾的包裝盒里,兩款雪茄交替擺放,茄衣顏色一深一淺形成交錯,讓人想起鋼琴的黑白鍵盤。
深色茄衣的這款使用的是厄瓜多爾康涅狄格煙葉,茄套和茄芯是多米尼加煙葉。黑色茄衣的那款使用的茄衣也產(chǎn)自厄瓜多爾,茄套是墨西哥煙葉,茄芯是多米尼加、尼加拉瓜的混合煙葉。雪茄是在多米尼加的OK雪茄廠卷制的。
這兩款雪茄都是55環(huán)徑,5.5英寸,大羅布圖(Robusto Grande)型號,在美國的每支零售價是16美元。每盒22支裝,一共生產(chǎn)1500盒,只在美國市場銷售。
2015年AVO即興表演系列發(fā)售是為了紀(jì)念該品牌已故創(chuàng)始人阿沃烏維奇(Avo Uvezian)的生日,阿沃曾經(jīng)是一位著名的音樂人,1987年認(rèn)識了大衛(wèi)杜夫公司的亨德里克,合作創(chuàng)建了AVO這個雪茄品牌。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.?
