Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3
“Extremely attractive” does not begin to describe the visual appeal of the Zino Platinum Limited Edition 2020, which includes a reddish espresso brown wrapper that looks like it was dipped in a vat of oil before being packaged. That wrapper is silky smooth to the touch and the cigar is both dense and very hard when squeezed. The aroma from the wrapper and foot is a combination of cocoa nibs, vegetal, leather, earth, manure and oak while the cold draw brings flavors of strong espresso beans, vegetal, leather, oak, grass, white pepper, and small amounts of both spice and a vanilla sweetness.
