Review
Aged tobacco for young smokers, Zino Platinum is a line of mild-to-medium-bodied Dominicans by the high-end Swiss label Davidoff. The basic contents are Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Connecticut binder, and blended Dominican/ Peruvian filler. Scepter line blends three different tobaccos, all aged over 4 years, with year-old binder and wrapper.
As with all Davidoffs, the Zino Platinum line is beautifully rolled, wrapped, bound and presented. (You see and smell where your money's going.) The smoke is creamy, plentiful and has a distinctive aroma; the differently-aged tobaccos yield a flavor that's interesting but not overpowering. It's pricey, but if you appreciate complexity, finesse (and yes, presentation), it's money well-spent.
