Zino Nicaragua Robusto Cigar – Single

The Zino Nicaragua Robusto features a 5-inch length and 54-ring gauge format. This size provides balanced smoke output and combustion stability. The cigar uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper noted for its oily texture and dark coloration.

Tobacco Composition

Blend components include:

• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf
• Binder: Seminal 56 seco from Nicaraguan farms
• Fillers: Honduran visus (Olancho/Jamastran), Nicaraguan Ometepe visus, Dominican San Vicente Mejorado secos

Flavor Development

Initial combustion releases black pepper and mineral earth notes. Mid-section transitions reveal cocoa powder and leather tones. Final third introduces espresso bitterness with residual sweetness from the Dominican filler tobaccos. Nicotine strength progresses from medium to medium-full intensity.

Combustion Performance

The Zino Nicaragua Robusto maintains consistent burn lines without requiring relights. Smoke density measures higher than average Connecticut-wrapped cigars, producing thick plumes. Draw resistance tests indicate optimal airflow at 2.5-3.0 inches H2O pressure range.

Oettinger Davidoff AG developed this blend to emphasize Nicaraguan tobacco characteristics while incorporating multi-origin filler leaves. The San Vicente Mejorado seco contributes to the cigar's sweetness parameters. Production occurs in Estelí-based facilities using traditional bunching techniques.
