Review: Zino Red Mini Cigarillos
The Zino Red Mini Cigarillos come in a very attractive ruby cardboard box filled with 20 small cigars. According to the New York City Davidoff Shop website, these cigarillos come with a Brazilian wrapper, a binder from Java and a filler of Brazilian and Javanese tobaccos along with French Burley. My guess is that it is the burley which lends these cigars their distinctive pre-light aroma of hay. Whatever it is, these Zinos start off with an unusual and pleasant mild note.
Upon lighting, the cigarillo has a sweet, mild flavor consisting mostly of hay, but which builds with the addition of vanilla and hints of wood. Due to their mild profile, these smokes wouldn’t lend themselves to being paired with a strong drink, though a smooth scotch or a cup of tea might work out well. Overall, a quality quick smoke for those who like a mild cigarillo. 3.5 / 5
