Me and my buddies went to a local tonight and dropped some serious money on some zino crowns. If you havent tried one give it a shot. Well worth the 18-135/ stick IMO

$135/cigar?

Zino's aren't worth s*** - you can smoke a better gar for four dollars. There is a reason Zino is constantly left off of all the most respected ratings lists - it is hyped, overrated, and frankly of a quality no better than any of davidoff's standard line of cigars.

There is no such thing as a cigar WORTH more than 10 dollars, I don't care what the marketing says. Myself, the boxes I have been working on recently are my Vegas Robaina Don Alejandros and Unico, Montecristo 'C' Edición Limitada 2003, the last of my current load of Cohiba Siglo 3's, and some Honduran Double Maduros, as usual.

I am not one to get caught up in ratings. believe me i know my cigars; the normal zino sucks i agree but the crown has a great flavor to it.

davidoff is more expensive with the exception of the crown which is hiher priced and higher quality then the davidoff. Ratings lists are a joke; i even told the people that work for CA there magazine is a joke and they are biased towards the advertizers. They didnt disagree with me; I myself review cigars on a regular basis and I have probably smoked every major cigar on the market today. The Zino Mouton Cadet(if you can find them) and Zino crowns are worth smoking the zino platinum is s***. The only fair ratings i have seen are on tatuajes and some of don pepins work. IMO the tobacco out of esteli nicaragua especially the corojo 99 leaf is the best in the world right now. The soil in esteli is the most similar to the pinar del rio valley in cuba and the soil is not raped from overproduction like it is in Cuba.
