Review Notes:
I liked the Zino Platinum Shorty. It burned well and had lots of savory flavor while still staying mild and smooth. The burn and draw were appropriate and it's attractive as a little cigar can be. Cigars this size (IMHO) tend to have taste issues and are often harsh. This cigar was one of the better petit coronas but like others have pointed out, not worth the outragous price they're asking.

Review Notes:
At € 8.5 apiece (a patlry $ 13), this small cigar must be good...well, it's good, but not worth its price. Excellent appearance and costruction, of course, being a memebr of the Davidoff family, but weak flavourwise, although not unpleasant, far from it. Just take it for what it is: an afterlunch cigar, which will not hurt you, but your wallet...

Review Notes:
A Davidoff cigar, if I am correct. This is a nice little smoke that seems very eurocentric. The Zino Platinum is the "high-end" blend, as goes the price. Its a nice smoke - a bit of wood and nut drifting into light spice at the finish. Very well made, but probably not worth such a price. I suspect the perfecto version of this would be excellent.

Review Notes:
The appearance and construction of this cigar are great. The draw and burn are also just right for my taste. This is definitely a mild cigar, and a bit simple, as others have said, but I find it enjoyable. Starts out woody with a hint of vanilla and becomes peppery towards the end, but never overpowering. At $6 I would buy many more of these, but at $8 I only buy them occasionally.

Review Notes:
This is a medium-bodied dominican tasting smoke, somewhat woody and a little peppery tasting. The Peruvian filler sort of gives it a little bit of a funky taste. Typical quality Ecuadorian wrapper. Not really a strong cigar by any means and certainly not very complex, however it's a solid smoke. Not worth the high price--this cigar is probably a $5 smoke as opposed to the outrageous prices it goes for.
Burn and construction are excellent, it's probably the high point of this cigar. Just not interesting enough for me to buy again.
