Which Avo 22...European or the American realease? Agree Avo 787 has similier flavor profile but still not as good as the European release.
i liked the american. the 787 is the "same blend" as the 22 (7+8+7=22) and does taste eerily similar to the 22. however it is not the exact tobacco and lacks some of the depth of the 22. imho.
I would agree with Kuzi, that you can find a wider, and clearer, range by comparing different blenders. The difference between a JDN Celebration and a Davidoff are very discernable. Try it. Buy one of each and light them at the same time. Its' the best way I know of. Both are excellent but offer a totally different experience. And although many of the blenders may use tobacco from the same, or similar regions, they all treat the curing , aging, and construction processes in different manners. Its' a wonderful adventure.
I also did something like this in a thread some months back but yours is really good and goes into more detail. Developing ones palate is something that a lot of us don't really think about unless you love the fine art of developing a certain taste. With cigars it opens up a new world just like with food and wine...great thread and should become a "sticky"...well done, sir.
