Zino Cigars - Any Good?

**godfather** · 09-08-2005, 06:03 PM

I smoked with my uncle a few weeks back and he's hard up on trying a Zino cigar. Are these cigars any good? If so, which ones are good and which ones should you stay away from?

I was thinking about getting him some. Anyone have any recommended places to get them (PM if you don't want to spam the thread)? My one and only B&M shop doesn't carry them.

Gracias.

Thanks to a member recommendation a while back, I signed up for the 'weekly specials' at a few cigar websites.

Low and behold, I got an e-mail from 'famous-smoke' today for this deal:

- 4 Zino Connoisseur #400 cigars
- Xikar Xi2 Lighter

Total: $29.95

Kind of cool since I like mild smokes and I'm a newbie. Don't have a cutter either (guy at the shop cuts them for me), double bonus for me :).

If anyone else is interested in this deal (shipping was only $3.50):

That looks like a great deal... I just got a Xikar cutter a few weeks ago and it is fabulous!

My mistake, that was a TYPO on my part...it is a CUTTER, NOT a lighter...:)

I like the Zino Connies myself.

I bought a Zino Sceptre sample pack at an event just last month at my smoke shop. I liked the Shorty and the Chubby, but was unimpressed by the others.

I ended up ordering this lastnight also, needed a xikar cutter, and have been looking for some mild smokes to try anyways. Also threw in a couple of singles to try, Gran Habano CT #1 Pyramid (thought someone said they were good for the money), and an indian tabac tomahawk.

Nice, glad someone else found the deal useful too.
