Avo

The AVO brand stands for the unifying element – ​​that is, enjoying moments and cigars together. This is how the AVO Blends were created, namely in collaboration between Avo Uvezian and Oettinger Davidoff master blender Hendrik Kelner. Avo Uvezian, a passionate jazz musician, settled in Puerto Rico in the 1980s and opened a piano bar there. There he discovered his love for cigars and soon wanted to make them himself for his private use. While looking for a suitable producer, he came across Hendrik Kelner, the Oettinger Davidoff master blender. The cigars were so well received by Avo's bar guests that...
Avo sent some samples of his cigars to the Davidoff Shop in New York. Sales of AVO cigars there increased from 125,000/year to 750,000/year cigars within three years and Oettinger Davidoff decided to buy this promising brand and distribute it worldwide.
