Name: Zino Platinum Scepter Chubby
Country: Dominican Republic
Shape: Perfecto
Size: (4 9/10 inches x 54)
Strength: Medium
The Zino Platinum Scepter Chubby is a savory, medium-bodied cigar of very high quality. It is earthy and comes with notes of salted caramel, white pepper, leather, vanilla, and oak.
The cigar burned evenly and lasted 45 minutes. I enjoyed it with a cup of coffee in my mother’s garden. And the clear sky and the cool September sun lifted my spirits.
Name: Avo Syncro Nicaragua Fogata Toro Tubo
Country: Dominican Republic
Shape: Parejo
Size: Toro (6 inches x 54)
Strength: Full
The Avo Syncro Nicaragua Fogata Toro is one of the best Avo cigars out there. I recently tried the Regional North Edition and the Regional South Edition. They are good, but they aren’t much when we compare them to the Fogata.
The Fogata is on another level. It is a full-bodied cigar with a complexity that begs your palate to solve a fascinating and piquant mystery. It is earthy with notes of petrichor, cedar, black pepper, cocoa, and dark roast coffee.
I really love this cigar. And I am happy that I was able to smoke one with my closest friend yesterday to celebrate the beginning of our new lives. We both got married this September…
We paired the Fogata with Glenmorangie Nectar d’Or, and what can I say? We couldn’t have asked for more.
Name: Zino Platinum Scepter Grand Master
Country: Dominican Republic
Shape: Parejo
Size: Robusto (5 1/2 inches x 52)
Strength: Medium
I paired the Zino Platinum Scepter Grand Master with The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 12 Years Old, and it was a big success. My palate was more than happy to experience this wonderful pairing. I could taste a harmony of notes, including creamy cappuccino, medium roast coffee, cedar, pink peppercorn, and leather.
The Zino Platinum Scepter Grand Master is a superb cigar, and I certainly have to keep some in my humidor.
