Even before the quick-and-easy light that produced “mouthfuls of smoke,” the Zino Platinum made its presence known, with a noticeable dry draw that tasted “like an aging room — cedar and honey.” Flavor was “a little bitter” at the beginning, before settling in with taste notes of “white pepper/black pepper, toast and touch of metal” and an aftertaste of “burnt hay” reminiscent of “the inside of a cigar box.” The cigar’s elegant look allowed it to stand out from the bunch.
