AVO Syncro Nicaragua Fogata Short Torpedo

Halfwheel · Jun 22, 2020 · June 27, 2016

In the nearly four years between the first review of the AVO Syncro Nicaragua Fogata Short Torpedo and this one, the profile the cigar offers has changed in dramatic ways. The oak and cinnamon notes that dominated the profile have faded, replaced by a distinct toast and leather combination that persisted from the first puff to the last one. Thankfully, there were two major traits that did not change: the construction remains amazing in just about all aspects and the smoke production is outrageous for a vitola of this size. Even though the AVO Syncro Nicaragua Fogata Short Torpedo I smoked for this review has very little in common with the ones I smoked back in 2016, it easily retains some of the most important attributes that make it a great option for those looking for a shorter smoke with balance, complexity and construction you don’t have to think about.

AVO Syncro Nicaragua Fogata Short Torpedo

Cigar Dojo · Sep 8, 2016

AVO’s first line-extension to their box-pressed series of Nicaraguan cigars is the Fogata, which means “bonfire” in Spanish—offering a more fiery and intense look at Nicaraguan tobaccos. The cigar’s “synchronization” comes from the balancing of these heavy-hitting Nicaraguan leaves with a complex blend, using 7 tobaccos from 4 countries. The Short Torpedo’s 4.5 x 52 size benefits from a more concentrated smoke (when compared to the other vitolas in the lineup); creating an intense smoking experience with primary notes of cedar, citrus, coffee, salt, and spices. Altogether, Fogata emphasizes subtler complexities over big/sweet flavors (a slight reversal from the original AVO Syncro), one that caters towards the experienced smoker.

A fat cigar with a shiny colorado wrapper that smokes evenly, showcasing elements of rich woods, spice and a touch of eucalyptus. The finish is spicy.

Well-rolled. Pack softens minimally as progression progresses, draw stays nicely tension'd. Seams hold nigh invisibly-so. Smoke is coolly-delivered through-out. Burn-line ain't perfect but requires no guidance. Ash is a tightly-wound ball of grey-marbled yarn. Profile smoothly evolves through-out and becomes the Fogato (camp-fire) of its name, but ever-so delicately-so. Twigs, not logs are burning. Complex 'nuff, but lacking in depth of notes. Grassy-floral bits are bothered by soapy mineral int

If you're a fan of the Fogata line and want a quick smoke, this might be right up your alley, but for me, I'd prefer a little bit longer vitola to really see what this blend can do.
