I got mine, they look awesome, thanks man, much obliged. I also managed to score a European version of these; they are interesting. Unbanded, but in cello, and they are thinner than the regular AVO 22s.

I took a picture of an AVO 22 (American-market) next to an AVO 22 (European-market). They are both perfectos, and have the same length, but the ring gauge on the European AVO 22 is significantly smaller. I am not aware of whether the blend is different between the two cigars or not. They were both sold in 2002.

This is from the Avo site: (Yea..I topped it to keep the info about these smokes together.)

Sold out. Was available in the U.S.:
AVO 22 a Perfecto format
Length 14,9 cm - 5 7/8 inches / diameter 2,0 cm (50 Ring Gauge)
Was available in boxes of 19.

Sold out. Was available in Asia and Europe:
AVO 22 a Perfecto format
Length 15,3 cm – 6 inches / diameter 1,7 cm (43 Ring Gauge)
Was available in wooden boxes of 22.


Has anyone determined if the blend is different?

I've smoked both and the Euro-Asian release was IMHO a better taste profile. The US 22 was a very good cigar as well, but I prefered the Euro-Asian one.

I couldn't tell you if it was the same blend.
