Zino Platinum Scepter Series Grand Master

not worth the $ imo. grassy up front, nice finish, but way to expensive.

The smoke was adequate as far as they go. Mild, woody flavor, nice draw, lots of smoke, decent contruction...but for the $12 I plunked down, I would rather have had 3 Oliva G Maduros, Padron 2000s, or 5 Vegas Alphas.

The size and construction of this cigar was great. Just the right size for an after dinner smoke. A med-full bodied cigar with wood/cedar and earth tones, with some spicy undertones. Draw and burn were spot on. These are way overpriced, as I can spend $11 on some awesome cigars. Good cigar, just overpriced.

A very bland and mild stick. A little flavorful but no strength and depth. was expecting a lot more from the price I paid.

I smoked one after one of my favorites (Ashton VSG). A much different taste. Almost too subtle. Nice construction. Very smooth draw. Price is almost the same as my usual- not for a round of golf or poker, but to savor. Nice changeup froma fuller bodied cigar.

My buddy kept praising these bad boys so I finally gave them a shot. The construction of the cigar is top notch and the band is gorgeous as well as the wrapper. The ash is solid and as close to white is your going to find. Describing the flavor is difficult because the flavor is so unique. Its an unmistakable flavor that I haven't experienced ever before. It starts slow but its VERY smooth and light with a creamy, woody flavor. Its very light flavor though. The last bit of it has a strong flavor of cedar and the pepper picks up as well. I hear so many people say that it has no flavor and and they wanted more flavor for the price. To me that is nonsense. The Zino Platinum isn't meant to have strong flavor and thats the beauty of it. Its got subtle, light flavors and in my opinion is the ultimate golfing smoke. Complicated cigar so if you like cigars straightforward and strong, stay away from this.

Hmmm, I expected more for this name and price point. Flavor was middle the road and the construction was topnotch. I need to go shave my tongue, because the finish was long and harsh.

This cigar was very satisfying. The construction was the best quality. Burned perfect all the way, and had a smooth mild taste. Even with the price, still a good value. Definatly will go to again.

This is a good complex cigar. This cigar has some woody and earthy tones with a small touch of pepper.
The flavor is light but it does have some strength. The cigar really has very little aftertaste.
It a good smoke I don't think its worth $12 a stick.

The Zino grandmaster has almost every quality that a great cigar should have, but left out the most important part the TASTE! Where did it go? I think I dropped about thirteen bucks on one of the blandest cigars of my life. All I have to say is save your money for something better.

My buddy praised these suckers, so I threw down the cash. Never again. You want a great quality and tasty medium cigar? Stick with the Special Series at this price. Not that tasty, but good quality and consistent throughout. Time to move on.

I was not pleased with the price i payed for but it was in my mind a first tier smoke all the way

How nice to disagree with most of the comments below. This is an excellent stick, although no match, in flavour terms, with a cuban: simply, cuban is not. However, it plays in its own league: smooth (oh yes ) flavours blend very well together, and make it for a strong, although not offensively so, cigar. Nothing to do with the real bland Davidoff of the "thousand" series, more likely a millenium.
Usual impeccable Davidoff construction, ashes were compact and burn perfect.
Very expensive, but that's the rule of the game with our friend from Geneva....

I wan't impressed--for the price. Just a smooth smoke and not interesting at all. Certainly a good cigar but just too boring for my tastes, and for the $$$. I kept waiting for something noticeable but all I ever got was 'smooth'. Maybe a good smoke for newbies. But there are way more complex cigars out there for half the price.

Good construction, fell and burn. Flavor was average, but the finish was lacking. Paid too much for this smoke. I would have felt better spending about $5 vs the $12 I put out.

This is an excellent stick. These are the Ferrari's in the cigars world. This is the greatest of the line, great size, draw, construction, taste and limited availibility. I am happy that this stick is not carried at every cigar shop that I frequent. That makes this a special smoke; not just an everyday burn. GOOD SH**.

At $12 a cigar, far too expensive. However, the taste and quality of this cigar is unmistakeable. From the same makers of the AVO line, the cigar's apperance and burn are almost flawless. However, the whole time I was smoking it, I was thinking "$12?!"

I should've known better by the two-fer special. The tobacconist suggested I'd like this stick if I was a fan of Partagas. Typical salesman crap. The only thing relevant to Partagas is the price. Started off mild/medium and then came the harsh aftertaste. I had a hard time finishing the second half as my throat just burned. Decent construction, nice label, that's where it ends.
