It judged strength medium, body full.

About the Syncro Nicaragua
halfwheel reports that Davidoff of Geneva USA had announced plans to restyle AVO’s logo and bands and trim the lineup by over half; Syncro Nicaragua, shown at the 2015 IPCPR convention, was the first new regular-production line to follow that rebrand.
