Zino Platinum Chubby Especial propaganda... (w/big pics)

[jinny]

So I got a Free cigar with some associated propaganda... it was part of a gift basket that some people get for attending stuff like awards ceremonies and the such... Well, Zino cigars are not high on my list of cigars to buy... maily due to high price. So, getting one free makes the high prices easier to stomach.

looks nice enough... esentially the same size as the Gurkha Ancient Warrior Perfecto that Demented just gifted to me.



I'm excited about that. but still... I usually don't get literature bundled with my sticks.






what strikes me as strange is the ash shape... aren't you supposed to cut off a bit at both ends before smoking a closd foot and capped perfecto??

Free smokes, huh? A bargain at twice the price!

I've always just lit the closed foot as is. naturally, you'd need to clip the other end unless you want a really tight draw.

I've tried that on a couple closed foots and I realy had to toast the bejesus out of em before I was able to suck anything thru em... like AF short story... the formed foot is mighty... well, formed... the stick it too short for me to deal with that... I just clip it a smidgen and go.



but yeah,
the graphic artist for Zino got pretty far into those smokes without clipping the caps...

maybe the parejos were punched...

pretty fancy to get some nice graphics with a free cigar.. Cool though

I have had one of those before, the shorty. I actually liked it a lot, but felt as though I was over paying for it. I think the shorty was 8 something at my B&M. Anyway, I did enjoy it, but I don't know if I can pay that again.
