As many known, the Zino brand is named Zino has always been one of the more interesting brands on the marketplace. It’s a brand not just known for its innovative packaging, but one that attempts to push the boundaries of what Davidoff does in terms of blends and even sizes. As we will see, the packaging is simpler, but its so different, one can make the case that the change is innovative in itself.
Blend and Origin
For the most part, the cigars for the Zino brand have come out of the Dominican Republic. One other thing that was different with Zino Nicaragua is that it is produced in Honduras at Davidoff’s Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A., the factory that is best known for making the majority of Davidoff’s Camacho factory. The “Nicaragua” stems from the fact that Nicaraguan tobacco is incorporated into the binder and filler. The fillers also feature Honduran and Dominican tobacco. The cigar is finished with a light colored Ecuadorian wrapper.

The Ecuadorian wrapper of the Zino Nicaragua Robusto had a light brown color to it. The wrapper itself had a light sheen of oil on it. This was a relatively smooth wrapper with some visible veins. There wasn’t much in the way of any noticeable seams on this wrapper.
