I was at a tobacconist the other day and they were selling 3 packs of some fat little Zino cigar, some special edition? It was 100 bux for the 3 pack??? What's up with that?

It is their Platinum series and a superb cigar. Worth $33? I don't think so. I PU some on a promo for half price and I feel they're worth it at that price. X

I smoked my first Zino Grandmaster the other day. I think they retail for $15 each. I can tell you that it wasnt worth $15. Though some may like them, I think this brand is all hype.

I was gifted 2 out of a 3 pack, along with the cool little box and matches. Gave 1 to hensed and I am waiting to smoke the other. Can't wait to see what the hype is all about...

I doubt it is worth $33 a piece though. That packaging sure is cool though...

There are two lines,the Platinum series and the Scepter series. The Scepter series is the B line and much cheaper. X. X

Actually, there are two series of Zino Platinum.

1) The "Crown Series" [only 3 styles made]

a) Chubby Especial (around $35 a stick)

b) Double Grande (around $29 a stick)

c) Stretch (around $40 a stick)

2) The "Sceptre Series"

a) Shorty (around $10.00 a stick)

b) Low Rider (around $11.00 a stick)

c) Stout (around $14.00 a stick)

d) Grand Master (around $11.50 a stick)

e) Chubby (around $12.50 a stick)

Yeah, I think it was the chubby. But I would never pay 35 bux for one! Now if someone wanted to give me a chubby, it would be another story 🙂

was gifted one to smoke before the release from one of my guys that was one of the first in the states to be a davidoff store. The cigar was unbanded and was a great smoke (I LIKE THE SCEPTER SERIES BETTER) They are really going after the high dollar market to this day i dont know what Arnell and davidoff are doing with the crown line, the marketing is geared toward the young crowd but the price is at the older cigar smoker. But any how people called davidoff crazy when they started selling they high priced smokes so who knows.

Oh the cigars are mild med with lots of coffee and tin flavor. THe best to me are the scepter shortys

GIG'EM,

Grond is right there are actually to series in the Platinum line

to see the little game/review Coma-one and I just played with a Platinum Scepter.

All of this talk about "Chubby's" is making me uncomfortable. 🙂
