About  AVO Heritage The AVO Heritage cigar is a full-bodied creation designed to honor the legacy of Avo Uvezian, the founder of AVO cigars. This line, introduced in 2010 and later rebranded in 2015, represents a collaboration between Uvezian and Hendrik "Henke" Kelner. It distinguishes itself from other AVO offerings, which are typically milder, by offering a more robust smoking experience. This is achieved through the use of an Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper, which is a key component of its flavor profile. The blend includes a unique combination of Dominican Ligero, Seco, and Peruvian longfiller tobaccos, all enveloped by the same Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper used in the 2009 Compañero. This blend pays tribute not just to Uvezian but also to the farmers, rollers, and blenders who have contributed to AVO's status as a premier, super-premium brand in the industry.
