Zino Nicaragua Robusto Cigars are classic Robusto sized cigar measuring in at 5 inchs long with a 54 ring gauge. The other three cigars in the range are a Short Torpedo, a Toro and the largest, a Gordo.
The Zino Nicaragua range of cigars is made by Davidoff. It was Zino Davidoff, the “King of Cigars”, who founded Davidoff in 1946 in Switzerland when he released his first cigar, the “Chateau Latour”. By the 1960s, he was so highly regarded that he was approached by the Cuban government to make a range of cigars from Cuban tobacco. Eventually the brand would grown to include pipe tobacco, cigarettes, humidors and a range of luxury accessories. Zino Davidoff was an adventurer and a pioneer in the cigar world. He loved to discover and enjoy life to the fullest. Inspired by his personality, Davidoff have developed a cigar line that reflects his spirit and zest for life.
Zino Nicaragua cigars are made at the Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A. in Honduras, which is a little bit confusing, isn’t it? The “Nicaragua” part of the name derives from the fact that the cigar blend contains imported Nicaraguan filler and binder.
Zino Nicaragua Robusto Cigars are hand rolled and are comprised of a Connecticut Ecuador wrapper with Hybrid 56 Seco binder from Nicaragua. The filler is Olancho Visus from Nicaragua, Ometepe Visus / Jamastran Visus from Honduras and San Vincente Seco and San Vincente Mejorado Seco bith from Dominican Republic.
Smoke time around 45 minutes.
Also available in a 4 cigar fresh pack.
These cigars have a light brown colour. On smoking, the first third of the Zino Nicaragua Robusto is characterised by fresh pepper (capsicum), cedar wood and coffee developing into cream, leather and salted nuts in the second third. The last third of the cigar has nuances of dark chocolate, spices and milk coffee.
Try with a rum, preferably Nicaraguan, or a craft beer to complement the sweet and creamy character of the beer.
