Zino Mouton-Cadet No. 8

I often consider reviews before buying cigars and sometimes read smokers describe some cigars as "tasteless", "like puffing on air", "a waste of time", "zero flavor" however I hadn't had the displeasure to experience that in 2 years of smoking cigars until I smoked this one.
A well constructed cigar void of any flavor, bitter in the last quarter and not at all enjoyable to smoke, I just finished it to give it a just review. A 4 pack of this cigar was in my humidor for 7 months.

The appearance of this cigar is inspiring: beautiful wrapper, excellent construction, really high quality cigar. However, the taste is so subtle that it went unnoticed for me, even though I tend to prefer milder smokes. The aftertaste was also like a cigarette. Really not my favorite kind of tobacco blend.

A mild cigar, which has a great taste and a superb appearance. It's one of the best I've smoked within this price.

This is an excellent cigar. Handsome, chestnut brown wrapper with a few thin veins. Excellent roll and draw. Teeny bit of an uneven burn, but did not hamper the enjoyment. Does not have the "grass-like" flavors experienced in most Honduran filled cigars. I would have thought there was some Dominican in the blend, but it is straight Honduran fill and binder, Ecuador wrapper. Very tasty complex mix of flavors. Bread and nuts abound. Very mild, but the texture of the smoke is so silky smooth, this should even satisfy smokers that prefer a fuller body cigar. I got the bargain of my life on these Zinos. A local shop was going out of business, and I scored the last three boxes for $75. They usually sell for more than that per box. They have improved fabulously with age.

Im totally new in the cigar world, so this is my first good cigar. Mild and smooth... Notes of wood and burnt bread. Very neautiful and a nice and easy burn.

this beautifully made honduran cigar is a real stunner ; it sets the standard for a "churchill" vitola at this price point ; i've smoked more than a dozen and it never failed to deliver ; draw and burn are top rate ; more mild than medium bodied, it has a deeply satisfying smoke dominated by exotic woods, gingerbread and pastry flavors

Nice draw, exellent look fabulous cigar... if you like mild "honduras-style" ...!!
