The harmony of life, expressed in every blend.
01

A Legacy of Harmony and Founding

Avo Uvezian, a renowned jazz pianist and composer, launched his eponymous cigar brand in 1987. His passion for cigars led him to collaborate with Hendrik Kelner, a master blender in the Dominican Republic. This partnership combined Uvezian's artistic sensibility with Kelner's expertise in tobacco, creating cigars that reflected Uvezian's personal taste for smooth and nuanced flavors. The AVO brand was later sold to Davidoff.

The blends often feature Dominican filler and binder tobaccos, complemented by various wrapper leaves, including Ecuadorian Connecticut and Habano. Enthusiasts can expect a medium-bodied experience with notes ranging from creamy and nutty to subtle spice and cedar, making them suitable for various palates. The brand focuses on creating a harmonious experience.
