Box‑Pressed Perfecto
Avion
Avion is a box‑pressed, perfecto‑focused offshoot of the Fausto family; it uses a Nicaraguan binder and filler with an Ecuadorian wrapper as the standard and often appears in small, wrapper‑variant runs. Releases typically read medium to medium‑full, favoring earth, cedar and pepper with cocoa and espresso in support.

Avion began as a limited, vitola‑forward extension of Fausto—box‑pressed perfectos and figurado perfectos rolled primarily at the My Father factory—to tighten draw and concentrate flavor. The standard recipe pairs an Ecuadorian wrapper over a Nicaraguan core, but Avion is also a playground for wrapper swaps (Broadleaf, Corojo, Mexican San Andrés) that shift sweetness and spice. Expect a smoking profile dominated by earth and cedar, a steady black‑pepper presence (pronounced on the retrohale), and secondary notes of cocoa, espresso and leather; larger vitolas and certain wrappers push the line toward medium‑full. The box‑pressed perfecto format gives Avion a firm, focused mouthfeel and a cool, enduring nub in the last third.
