Since we opened our online cigar shop and retail lounge in progress CigarScore Lounge in 2022, we’ve had some truly amazing cigars. And, because of the Adventure Club, we’ve had the opportunity to try new and different cigars each month for over two and a half years. And, while we missed doing a “Best Cigars” Read more…

Cigar Review: AVO Expressions LE 2024
AVO is not a brand of cigars I think about all that often. However, they’ve been around a long time, and they’re one of those legacy brands that has a rich history in cigars. That is until 2019, when they deceptively released their AVO Unexpected series of cigars. Fast forward 5 years, and we have Read more…
Cigar Review: AVO Classic Robusto CE
Initial Thoughts: Today we continue our series of blind cigar reviews, where our goal is to provide you with a totally objective, completely neutral review of a cigar. Ellory went into this review completely blind; that means without knowing what it is, who made it, how much it costs, or what’s in it. To see Read more…
Top 10 Breakfast Cigars to Pair with Coffee – 2020
Up until mid-2019, I didn’t like lighter cigars. I assumed they were flavorless and bland. And, the idea that I’d pair a cigar with coffee wasn’t even on my radar. Sure, I’d enjoyed my cigars with water, wine, beer, and bourbon, but enjoy one in the morning and pair a cigar with coffee? That is until I reviewed Read more…
Cigar Review: AVO Unexpected Tradition
Initial Thoughts: The fourth and final cigar in AVO’s “Unexpected” series is the AVO Unexpected Tradition. While this line from AVO is surrounded by scandal and deception, I did not know about it whenever I set any of the cigar aflame for review. (I’ll explain the deception at the bottom of the post). I reviewed both Read more…
Cigar Review: AVO Unexpected Passion
Initial Thoughts: When AVO announced their Unexpected Series at IPCPR 2019, paid no attention. But, when I saw the display at my local lounge, I took notice! After smoking and reviewing the AVO Unexpected Celebration, I knew they were onto something. The AVO Unexpected Passion is the 2nd of the series for me to review. It Read more…
Cigar Review: AVO Unexpected Celebration
Initial Thoughts: When I picked out this brand new, just released in May 2019, cigar, I was searching for more “breakfast cigars” to add to my humidor. And, this AVO Unexpected Celebration is about as light as they come. Immediately after putting the torch to the foot, I noticed how light the flavors were. Just seconds Read more…
Cigar Review: AVO Classic No. 2 Toro
Initial Thoughts: This is the second AVO cigar I’ve ever smoked, and the first one didn’t leave me with a good experience. However, as soon as I grabbed the AVO Classic No. 2 out of my humidor, I knew I was in for a treat. Or at least I thought I would be. The first thing Read more…
UNBOXING – CIGRco MAY 2019 – Worth $80?
One of the best reasons to join a cigar subscription club is to have the opportunity to try new things. Cigar clubs, subscription boxes, cigar of the month clubs, whatever you want to call them, are great ways to get new cigars you might not try otherwise. And today, I’m unboxing the May 2019 cigar Read more…
Cigar Review: AVO Syncro Fogata Special Toro
Initial Thoughts: Unlike several cigars I’ve smoked recently, the AVO Syncro Fogata didn’t blow me away starting with the first puff. However, the draw started smooth and the flavors have been consistent. I chose the Syncro Fogata instead of other AVOs on the shelf because it was supposed to be their boldest one, however, I don’t Read more…
