Smoked: Zino Platinum Scepter Grand Master

Smoked at: West Chester, Ohio

Zino Platinum Scepter Grand Master is a medium-mild Connecticut with some zing ot it – or zest – whatever else begins with a “z” for Zino. Something else that got my attention was that the filler included tobacco from Peru – unusual.

Flavors include cedar, nuts, cream, mild pepper, and aged tobacco with hints of vanilla and chocolate adding depth to the taste. There are no real transitions, but none are necessary. These flavors play well together for a nice complexity.

Perfect draw and burn line with dark grey ash that held on tight throughout the smoke. It rolled off perfectly when it was time to ash.

Zino Platinum Scepter Grand Master is a fitting tribute to Zino Davidoff and one super fine cigar. It paired very well with a cup of Arabica. This gets 5s across the board.
