Each year, cigar creator and musician Avo Uvezian celebrates his birthday in grand style, with a new cigar. Cigar Cyclopedia reports that now that Avo Uvezian is turning 80 the celebration is even larger. His birthday is on March 22 but the party starts March 18 in Florida with a birthday celebration, private concert and the release of the new Avo 80th cigar. Tickets to this event cost $145 and include dinner, wine and six cigars including one Avo 80th. Avo will tour the U.S. throughout March and April and then heads to Europe. The cigar is a 6-inch by 52-ring torpedo with an Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper and four different interior leaves of ligero and seco. Only 6,000 cigars will be made and they retail for $15 each or $360 per box. There are also 80 special Avo 80th humidors that include 20 Avo 80th cigars as well as 60 other Avo favorites, a straw hat, and an invitation to the Avo birthday party in the Dominican Republic on June 23. Viva Avo!
