A cigar test is subjective

Note: How a cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the form of the day, what you have eaten or drunk beforehand. Even the lighting in the room has an influence on the flavour you experience. The notes described here therefore do not necessarily correspond to your own impressions.

In all formats, the cigars have the identical blend of tobaccos from Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, which are surrounded by a Nicaraguan binder and finished with an Ecuadorian wrapper. The medium-bodied cigars surprise with a round flavour of fresh pepper, cream and a hint of café au lait, which matches the preferences of the occasional aficionado.

Conclusion Zino Nicaragua Short Torpedo

This little nub is great. I enjoyed the cigar while watching an episode of House Of Cards on Netflix. The cigar lasted just under 45 minutes. What struck me most was the creaminess mixed with nutty flavours. A great tobacco blend! All three formats (Toro, Robusto, Short Torpedo) have the same tobacco blend. I'm curious to see how the Toro and Robusto taste. Although the same tobacco blend is used, the cigars will taste different due to their format.

Here you will find the tests of all three formats over the next few months >

Buy recommendation: Oh yes! I think the practical Freshpacks, which contain 4 cigars, are great. Very suitable for beginners who don't yet have a humidor and want to try this cigar. The price also convinces me.

In my opinion, the relaunch has been more than successful.
