A cigar test is subjective

Note: How the cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the shape of the day, what you have eaten or drunk before. Even the lighting mood in the room has an influence on the experienced taste. The notes described here therefore do not have to match your own impressions.

Conclusion Zino Nicaragua Toro

That was a great pleasure for me. The cigar is completely uncomplicated. The ash is not very stable, but that doesn't detract from the taste at all. The wrapper from Ecuador is very fine and has a fantastic taste. A great blend of tobacco! All three formats (Toro, Robusto, Short Torpedo) have the same tobacco blend.

Here are the tests of all three formats >

I think the tobacco blend is wonderful. The balance convinces me: nutty and yet creamy, a little cocoa and the wonderful gentle sweetness with a little acidity. The wrapper leaf can be a little coarse, depending on the specimen. But that doesn't bother me at all with this cigar. I am totally satisfied with my smoke.

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.
