The Avo Expresivo Churchill marks a defining moment for a brand that has long called the Dominican Republic home — this is the first regular-production AVO handcrafted in Honduras, introduced at PCA 2026 as part of a broader evolution for the Burn Brighter era of the brand. At 7×48, the Churchill is the longest, most unhurried expression in the Expresivo lineup, designed to let a multi-terroir blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco fully unfold across what amounts to a 90-plus minute smoke. The silky Ecuadorian wrapper drapes over a Honduran Jamastrán Valley binder, with the filler combining Jamastrán tobacco for strength and spice with Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf for floral sweetness and refinement.
The construction reflects the precision Davidoff brings to every production. The Ecuadorian wrapper sits smooth and elegant with a natural oiliness, the seams are nearly invisible, and the 7×48 format burns with the even, deliberate pace that a Churchill demands. Each tobacco in the filler plays a specific role — Jamastrán delivers earthy, spicy intensity and structural backbone, while Condega tobacco supports combustion and adds a roasted, slightly saline undertone, and Jalapa brings the aromatic elegance and gentle sweetness that keeps the profile balanced rather than aggressive. The result is a blend that's fuller than anything AVO has produced before while remaining composed and refined throughout.
Flavor-wise the Churchill opens with cedar and roasted nuts, leather and dark chocolate developing through the generous middle, and baking spice and cream arriving on a long, lingering finish that fades cleanly. Medium-full in strength, elegant in delivery, and built for the kind of slow, deliberate sit that a 7-inch cigar deserves.
