Re: Zino "chubby"

Not yet. Have a couple in the humi. You should pull the chubby out of the tubo, and give it a good check for mold. There was a mold problem on many of the freebies they sent out before the end of last year. Past thread on this subject here on CS. Mine DID NOT have mold, but several members got one with growth.

Good luck. Suspose to be a fine smoke!

Yes and it is one hell of a fine cigar, ranks right up there among my top ten cigars.

Re: Zino "chubby"

I got mine last night. No mold on it. It looks like a nice cigar. I just have way too many new smokes to try and do not know when I will get a chance to try it.

Mine was the same way. No mold or anything detrimental, but had an EXTREMELY loose draw. Smoke this one real slow with light draws or you will heat it up and it will turn sour rather quickly.

Cheers!!

Its a good cigar. Normally my vitola of choice is a zepplin shaped perfecto; however in the Zino Platinum Scepter line I like the flavor of the Grand Master vitola better than the Chubby vitola. They really need to come up with a better name for this one.... "smoking a chubby" is a not soo subtle euphemism..

The one I received and incinerated was the Grand Master.

"smoking a chubby"........

Re: Zino "chubby"

Still waiting for mine to arrive... And I'm hoping for the Obesito rather than the Grand Master... Will check for mold!

My thoughts exactly. I did not get mine for free, so the disappointment was proportional.

Re: Zino "chubby"



Now were talking!
This is the best cigar I ever smoked hands down!!
The chubby is the zeppelin from Zinos Septer series, a phat li`l sucker
with the look taken directly from a comic book, with an incredibly sweet &
good taste! Smoking it felt like riding an expensive sport car!!
Super smooth!
And with its cartoon look & with that Z loggo I just fell in love with the whole package!
I seriously thinking of getting that Z tattoed & to smoke a chubby everytime
I guest poose or something & ask èm for a sponsor deal!



Peace!
