The remarkably smooth and complex blend of the AVO XO Preludio Connecticut Panatela (6" x 40) is one to be enjoyed and equally appreciated. The number and years it took for this cigar to be planned, grown, fermented and aged, and ultimately hand-crafted into the cigar that you see might blow your mind. The aging process itself took 6 years - with that amount of time, you know you're getting the best the cigar market has to offer.
