Has anyone else here tried any of the Platinum Series Sceptor Cigars by Zino?
This was my first Zino and I was expecting a lot, but I was seriously underwhelmed by it. I t had a nice prelight aroma, the burn was alright. It looked like it wanted to tunnel but never did. The ash was decent, flaky, and dark grey. The flavor was lacking. I really couldn't distinguish a flavor at all. As I was smoking it, I kept thinking hold on and the flavor will kick in at any moment, but nothing. It does have a little kick/power to it, but not much in the flavor category. I guess my disappointment was based on the cigar rep that had built it up so much at the AVO tasting a month or so ago. I'd as sooner light up an AVO maduro that another Zino Platinum.
I have one more in my humidor and will let it sit for 6 months or so and then see what I think of that one.
I'm just curious to see hear what others have to say about it.
