Zino Honduras Robusto (5×54)

Summary

Honduras has two tobacco growing regions that serious cigar smokers know by name, and the Zino Honduras Robusto puts both of them in the same blend. The Jamastrán Valley produces full-flavored, spicy tobacco with a character that draws comparisons to Pinar del Río in Cuba. The Copán region, tucked in the western highlands near the Guatemalan border, grows leaf with warm days and cool nights that develop a softer, naturally sweet aromatic depth the Jamastrán Valley does not produce on its own. Together under an Ecuadorian wrapper and rolled at Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A., they make a 5x54 Robusto that is distinctly and unapologetically Honduran in every draw.

Davidoff built this line as a deliberate step up in intensity from the Zino Nicaragua, and in the Robusto format that intention comes through clearly. Rosewood, cedar, orange peel, and cream in the first third, then earth and leather settle in through the middle as the 54 ring gauge keeps the burn slow and the smoke cool. Forty-five minutes, medium-full body, and available pre-cut in the four-count fresh pack if you want to throw a few in your bag without a cutter. Twenty-five to a wood box in the standard format.
