It’s a speaker.

A 1,200 watt, $1,700 Bluetooth speaker to be exact. Tomorrow at 2 p.m. EST we’ll be in Tampa, Fla. to help AVO unveil its new cigars for 2018, which marks the 30th anniversary of the brand.

The interview with Scott Kolesaire, the AVO brand manager, will be shown live on the AVO Facebook Page and during the Facebook Live broadcast, one person will be selected to receive a Devialet Phantom.

You’ll just need to leave a comment once the broadcast starts. A winner will be announced before it ends. The broadcast will start at 2 p.m. EST.

You can read more about the speaker here, but as someone that’s owned a couple, I can tell you the speaker is ridiculous. In short, it’s an incredibly loud and large sound for the relatively small package and Phantoms are able to play music at extremely loud volumes—this one goes up to 101 db—with almost no distortion.
