For those of you whom seek to discover the unknown, Swiss luxury tobacconist Davidoff has just the smoke for you. The family owned company founded more than a century ago, has re-launched the brands Zino cigar line, named for Davidoff’s eponymous founder, Zino Davidoff. Promising a Central American taste profile, the Zino line promises three formats suitable for “every occasion.”
“The new Zino brand is inspired by people who celebrate a lifestyle and state of mind driven by experiences, open-mindedness and an unwavering curiosity,” says Edward Simon, CMO at Oettinger Davidoff AG. “Zino Davidoff himself was a restless pioneer of the tobacco world and, when he set out to learn and gather experiences around the globe, he was only 19 years young.”
“While creating the new Zino cigar brand, we aimed to suit Zino Davidoff’s sense of discovery and spirit to live in the moment, and are very excited about the result. The blend of the new Zino Cigars is sure to
please those who look for earthy taste profiles with spices and some sweetness.”
With the relaunched range including three different models; including the Toro (50 x 6”); the Robusto (54 x 5”); and last but not least, the Short Torpedo (52 x 4 inches). The range, which is crafted to appeal to the tastes of “occasional aficionados” boasts a blend of fillers from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras. The medium bodied cigars are said to emit tastes of cream, fresh peppers, and milk coffee through a Nicaraguan binder and Ecuadorian wrapper
The packaging of Davidoff’s Zino line is particularly prominent, wrapped in a boastful yellow motif and available in in a cabinet box of 25 and four count freshpacks. A particular highlight of the freshpack is the ability to keep the cigars humidified for several weeks without a humidor, according to Davidoff. The Zino Cigar line which just made its return to the market this year is already catching the eyes of enthusiasts seeking handmade cigars with unusual taste profiles.
