I’m a Regular cigar smoker and this one was terrible. Too strong, like smoking a leather boot.

Now this is a cute little cigar which is bigger than its actual size. Straight from the box and they are full of flavour, straight burn, good ash and a good taste. Two weeks in the humidor and any harshness or bitterness (which I admit straight from the pack they can have a littler “tang” top them) is gone and they settle down into a good smoke. Takes about ten mins to smoke is you are not in a rush, excellent company to a good cup of java and very enjoyable.
Just because it is small does not mean it is small……

Been looking for a nice tasting even burn from start to finish. Found it in this AVO in a sampler pack I had. Nice to have with a cup of your favourite Coffee or two for a decent 1/2 hour smoke.
Ordered 10 straight away.

This is my new favourite!
Deep rich flavours with sweetness and the best thick white smoke IÂ’d expect from 3x the price normally! Easy draw, even burn.
I dipped the tip in my Remy 1735 and that didnÂ’t hurt at all!
IÂ’ll be back for more of these 100%

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
