Davidoff’s Avo cigar brand was named for Avo Uvezian, one of the original stars of the cigar industry. Known for his sharp attire and stylish manner, the man in the mimbre hat and white Brioni suit was a familiar sight in cigar shops and cigar events for many years, including his annual birthday dinners where he would showcase a cigar dedicated to his age at the time. Uvezian died in 2017.

On March 22, Avo would have turned 100 years old, and Davidoff of Geneva is poised to celebrate the milestone at the PCA show next month. The company has not released any details at this time, but it’s likely that those plans will include a commemorative cigar.

I’d like to see my wife honor anything for me but here we are…waiting and hoping.

Have you ever told her that? People can have very different love languages and if something specific from your partner would make you feel a certain way, it's usually more productive to communicate that rather than waiting and hoping.

Yeah, that’s a good point.

No 100 RG cigars please. Leave that for the $100,000 Behike 100.
