Cigar Weekly

cliffie3d · 05-17-2003, 05:52 AM

I was listening to a "Cigar Dave" show from his archives, and he was smoking a new Zino Platinum. Now, because of the price, I personally don't care how good these things are (unless someone gifts one to me!), but I'm curious if anyone's tried one yet. The General says they retail around $35 each! They'd BETTER be good. Let me at least live vicariously through a wealthy CW brother's experience.

I was able to try the whole lineup for free at the launch party in Vegas last fall. They are all very good cigars, exceptionally well constructed. Their flavor is not as impressive as the Davidoff Millenium line, though, which is still quite expensive, but less so than the Platinum. In sum, it is indeed a quality cigar, but not remotely worth the asking price.

Bought 1 of each in Vegas a couple of months ago. Haven't smoked them yet

A smoke I'll probably never see. What in the hell could make em so expensive? Thats the true question!

I think we pay for the "box". It's a real beauty

. 1 of each sums up over $100, which is scary

WHAT, $35, no way never, never, never. I can get a whole bundle from UM for that. Call me cheap, I don't care but $35 is way out of range.
