March is always a special time of year for the AVO brand, which historically has had a new limited edition released to coincide with the birthday of the brand’s founder, the late Avo Uvezian. This year will be no different.

In March, Davidoff of Geneva USA will ship the AVO Improvisation LE20, a 6 1/2 x 50 toro extra that uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over an Ecuadorian Semillia 151 seco binder and four Dominican fillers: piloto ligero, piloto viso, San Vicente ligero and San Vicente Seco.

It is priced at $16 and is limited to 4,400 boxes of 14 cigars.

Those boxes are made from clear acrylic that contains two wooden trays of seven cigars.

This is the eighth entry into the Improsiation Series, which launched in 2015, replacing the AVO Limited Edition Series.
