[...] Big Barry from A Cigar Smoker’s Journal toasts the Zino Platinum Emperor Edition 2009. This cigar has been getting a lot of buzz lately. Does Barry think it’s worth the $23 price tag? Toast it here. [...]

The few things I’ve had from the Davidoff lines have been good but from what I keep hearing the Zino lines are really just typical sticks with a big price tag.

Nice review. I think the overpriced nature is what keeps me away from Zino. I’ve smoked a few, and they don’t live up to the pricetag. Give me a Padron Anniversary any day over these.

Never had any Zino product as of yet, but the $23 price point would deter me from buying a robusto except for a VERY special occasion. I really think it is hard to make a high dollar cigar smoke like a high dollar cigar. I cant see much difference in anything done compared to the $10 sticks out there. I guess choice tobacco is used and expert rollers, but for $23 that stick should be perfect.

I’ve heard so many good things about this stick but the really high price has kind of turned me off on finding it. Thanks for the great review.

The price is really my big beef with Davidoff stuff in general. Anyone can make a cigar and charge $20 bucks for it. Make a good one for less than $10 is what all should be doing. Winston himself said, “If you want me to speak for an hour or two, I can do it to tomorrow. If you want me to speak for twenty minutes, I need a week to prepare.” My point, $23 is a bucketload for something average. Thanks again big B, nice review!
