Zino Nicaragua Robusto

Founded by the late Zino Davidoff, Davidoff cigars are the epitome of pleasure and the good life, and if you have ever smoked a cigar by Davidoff you know that all Davidoff cigars maintain well-defined standards of quality and excellence. The tobaccos that are used in the different blends have been cultivated in accordance with the most ancient traditions, in the richest soils and ideal climatic conditions of carefully selected fields. The smoke in your shipment today was created to celebrate the adventurous spirit and zest for life that Zino had lived by. In his words: “Live life from A to Z.”

The Zino Nicaragua captures that essence from start to finish. This Honduran hand-made starts with a three-country filler blend that includes Nicaraguan Ometepe Visus, Honduran Olancho Visus, Honduran Jamastran Visus, Dominican San Vicente Seco, and Dominican San Vicente Mejorado Seco. A Nicaraguan Seminal 56 Seco binder secures the filler blend and is finished with a stunning Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper leaf. Medium bodied, expect earthy notes of dark chocolate, cream, coffee, cedar, and spices with hints of natural sweetness. Another unique feature of this line is that while the tobaccos are identical throughout the line, the rolling of the cigars differs. Essentially, each size offered has a different way the tobacco was added, creating a unique experience depending on the size. The robusto in your shipment today offers uncompromising subtleness, while the Toro will offer a longer-lasting intense experience, and the Short Torpedo was designed to start and end on the stronger side. With about 45 minutes of smoking time, try pairing with a classic daquiri on a crisp fall afternoon.

Honduras has been a tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing area for hundreds of years, but it was the Communist revolution in Cuba that really put Honduras on the map. In the 1960s, many Cuban cigar makers fled their homeland and arrived in Honduras to re-establish their way of life. The immigrants took advantage of the climate, soil, and geography, which were well-suited to tobacco growing, and began producing high quality cigars. The center of the Honduran cigar industry is the city of Danli and the nearby Jamastran Valley. The majority of the world’s pure Corojo tobacco is grown here, now that Cuba has stopped production of this iconic, spicy, and rich variety in favor of Corojo hybrids. Other important areas of Honduran cigar production include the Talanga Valley, Copan, and Trojes.
