Zino Nicaragua Half Corona

This 4"x44 Davidoff creation packs Nicaraguan punch in a snack-sized format. At $6.30 per stick (5-count pack), it's Davidoff's most approachable Nicaraguan offering. The semi-oily Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper hides medium-strength flavors perfect for 40-minute smoke breaks. First timers often compare its bite to chewing on a cinnamon stick dipped in dark cocoa.

Burn Breakdown

First Third

Peppercorn kick hits faster than UberEATS delivery - black pepper with underlying earthiness. Retrohale brings white pepper tingle. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite compact size.

Mid Section

Smoke thickens like morning fog. Baking spices (nutmeg/cinnamon) emerge, balanced by 70% dark chocolate notes. Ash holds firm despite golf swing attempts.

Final Stretch

Leather enters chat around band removal. Last inch gets earthy like post-rain forest floor. Slight tar buildup warns to stop before nubbing.

Flavor Counterparts

  • Hemingway Short Story: 4"x49 | Creamier, less spice
  • RyJ Petit Corona: 4.88"x42 | Milder coffee focus
  • Oliva Serie G: 4.5"x50 | Bolder maduro profile
  • Padron 1964: 4.5"x42 | Complex nutty core

Tobacco Terroir

Grown in Estelí's volcanic soil, the filler tobaccos undergo Davidoff's signature "slow aging" process. The Connecticut wrapper adds sweetness to balance Nicaraguan spice - think of it as yin-yang in cigar form.
