Experience the rhythm of the islands with AVO Syncro Caribe Toro, a premium blend that brings together the richness of Caribbean tobaccos with the influence of Central America. Crafted with a Dominican wrapper, Ecuadorian binder, and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, this toro offers a taste journey that blends island sweetness with earthy depth.
The wrapper is dark with a light milk chocolate hue, giving it a rustic yet inviting look. The toro feels firm in the hand with no soft or hard spots, though the prominent veins add to its rugged character. The texture is slightly toothy, hinting at complexity within.
The cigar opens with a burst of fruit sweetness layered over clove and baking spices, supported by a salty cedar note. Flavors of dark raisin, rye bread, and mineral nuances come through alongside hints of graphite, leather, and an earthy mustiness—a flavor signature often tied to AVO and Davidoff blends.
As the cigar develops, the sweetness remains but is joined by a bright citrus note that pairs nicely with the clove. The profile shifts into bready and nutty territory, reminiscent of raisin toast dusted with baking spices. Undertones of white pepper and sweet oak emerge, while earthy salt flavors remain present. A faint bitterness, similar to watered-down black coffee, lingers in the background.
The last section is driven by fig and raisin notes that fold into a stronger leather presence. Sweetness tapers off as pepper spice picks up, supported by steady baking spices. Woody cedar becomes more dominant, accompanied by a salty “pasta water” character, earthy tones, and the bitterness of coffee grounds.
The AVO Syncro Caribe Toro is a solid cigar with enough transitions to keep it engaging. Construction is strong, with an even burn line, white ash, and ample smoke output. The draw is tighter than ideal, and the slow burn occasionally reveals minor trouble spots. While the flavor profile is enjoyable, it lacks a bit of complexity, which, paired with the draw resistance, impacts the overall experience. Still, this cigar offers a rewarding island-inspired journey and stands out as a reliable option in the AVO lineup.
