I am subsisting on a steady diet of all 3 Avowed cigar blends.
1) New Dawn is the perfect morning cigar. If you’re a fan of Casdagli Daughters of the Wind, you’ll be delighted with this cigar blend…plus it’s several bucks less.
2) The Vow is bold. A richly unique complex blend.
3) Awakening is the pièce de resistance. It seized my palate like surprise morning sex. A true flavor bomb. You can read my impressions here.
NEW DAWN:
“New Dawn is wrapped with the highest grade of dark Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers from A.S.P. and aged for twice the usual time to create a heightened experience for the discerning connoisseur.”

THE VOW:
To make The Vow extraordinary, each size was extensively aged for at least 18 months after production. And only one pair of rollers were tasked with bringing each size to life, ensuring a more consistent experience.

The Vow 7.05 Corona Gorda (6 x 48)
Presented in a timeless Corona Gorda format, 7.05 carefully threads the needle between strength and sophistication. This expression of The Vow begins with a spicy introduction before sweet and savory sensations take over alongside a creamy core for an exceptionally well-balanced experience.
The Vow 6.29 Toro (6 x 50)
Crafted with the renowned Toro vitola in mind, 6.29 dials back the intensity to offer a more approachable experience. This size allows us to include Cotuí tobacco to create a cigar that is the essence of indulgence. This expression of the Vow begins and ends with a delicate sweetness.
AWAKENING:
Awakening’s famed wrapper leaf (an Ecuadorian Hybrid) was affectionately referred to as Capa Marron internally and was last grown almost a decade ago. Each limited-edition Awakening was then carefully aged after production to allow the ligero-heavy tobaccos to marry and provide an experience worthy of one last farewell. And once again, production was restricted to just one pair of rollers from start to finish.

Binder: Ecuadorian Habano

Concluding Production: 2,000 boxes
