AVO Classic Uvezian Puritos - 1 Single
by Stuart
The AVO Classic Uvezian Puritos really surprised me, taken straight out of the cedar humidor with a 69% Boveda, it smoked beautifully from start to finish. It gives off a lot of smoke, which I always enjoy, and it burned steadily with no canoeing or touch-ups needed.
For a small cigar, it genuinely packs a punch. The flavour’s rich and well balanced, and I’d even say it beats out some larger ring gauge cigars for both smoke production and taste. Don’t let the size fool you, if you take your time and smoke it like you would a bigger cigar, it delivers a properly satisfying experience. A cracking little stick that proves good things really do can come in small packages.

This cigar was not purchased from C. Gars but rather purchased in a box of 10 from a location abroad. Pictures available if they are requested to authenticate this review. Please note, I will copy and paste this review on the box of 10 as well as the review is completely valid.
As far as the box goes, it is probably one of the nicest cigar boxes I've ever opened. The faux leather trim adds a touch of class that guides the smoking experience to one of prestige comfort. A good box, better with cigars.

The Plasencia Original Reserva was a cigar I’d been curious about for a while, especially since Plasencia has such a strong reputation for craftsmanship and sustainability. This blend is made entirely from organically grown Nicaraguan tobacco, and that purity really comes through in the flavor. On the cold draw, I picked up soft notes of cedar, hay, and a touch of natural sweetness. Once lit, the cigar offered smooth, creamy smoke carrying flavors of toasted nuts, wood, and gentle spice.
What I liked most about the Original Reserva was its harmony—it never felt harsh or overpowering, yet it still had enough flavor to keep me engaged. It’s a refined cigar that rewards slow, mindful smoking and showcases Plasencia’s attention to detail.
Overall, this cigar feels like a perfect introduction to the Plasen

I did not purchase this cigar from C. Gars as a longer version was gifted to me, the experience is my own and was enjoyable. This review will be posted on the other Churchill bands as the flavour remains the same but the cigar band is the only thing that differs.
The Romeo y Julieta Churchill is one of those cigars that instantly feels special from the moment you pick it up. For someone like me still building experience, this cigar set a new benchmark for what a refined, classic Cuban should deliver. It’s beautifully constructed—firm, smooth, and fragrant before lighting. On the cold draw, I got soft notes of cedar, earth, and a hint of sweetness.
Once lit, the first third opened with that signature Romeo y Julieta creaminess, layered with mild spice and wood. The smoke was smooth and aromatic, never harsh, and the draw was perfectly balanced. As it developed, gentle floral and nutty tones appeared, with moments of cocoa and toasted almond weaving in. The burn line was impressively even throughout, showing the kind of craftsmanship the brand is known for.
By the final third,
