This is a very good quality and very good value cigar. It is a smooth and balanced cigar that lacks the last bit of complexity.
I am afraid that I am mostly using my review as a rant around the notion that “beginners” need a light cigar and then more sophisticated, more experienced smokers want something bigger, richer, stronger bla bla bla.
This is utterly ludicrous. Implicit in this is the notion that some big greasy dark cigar is more “advanced” or sophisticated or grown up than a Quai d’Orsay. Or by an analogy to wine, if you like a delicate Grand Cru Burgundy you are less advanced or sophisticated than someone who likes a Barossa Valley Shiraz. Rant over.

Zino Nicaragua Toro Cigar - 1 Single
by James
Always wanted to try one of these.
Lovely, creamy white smoke. A solid, flawless burn and ash that required no touch ups. Rich flavours of dark chocolate, coffee and salted nuts sensitise the palette and a hint of pepper and spices on the retrohale, but nowhere near being a pepper bomb. Only criticism is that the draw was a little restrictive initially but still gave you what you needed. Loosened up near the end of the first third though to a more comfortable draw.
Paired with a glass of Laphroaig 10 and and a glass of Glenfiddich 12 (not the best choice but it was the only not peated in the house lol). It paired well, in my humble opinion at least, with both but more with the Islay. It think would pair very well with a good coffee as well.
When you see the famous name of Zino Davidoff on a cigar, you expect nothing less than great flavours and a solid build that does nothing to detract or distract you from the experience and shear joy of smoking a cigar. Got to say WOW!!! this did not disappoint in the slightest.
Smoking time is said to be between 50-60min. I made mine l

Nice cigar for a light and smooth experience. Lasted a long time at least 1.5 hours. I enjoyed it and cant wait till its back in stock.

I smoke these all the time and find the taste is great with no harshness.Sometimes the cigar burns down one side but can be lit again.My local tobacconist has had to put the cost up but as i only buy ten at a time it is no problem.A new malt whisky to try with them is Fettercairn Warehouse 14 .0001,the combination of the light flowery whisky with the mild minutos is very good.

These werent too bad, lasted longer for me than what is advertised which is good, but i found them a little too bland for my tastes.

So I lit this up , and enjoyed the smoke , the draw was fantastic from start to finish, not as much flavour as I like but was very consistent , and has a large nicotine hit
Good enjoyed smoke
