The Zino Platinum Crown Series – One of the most expensive cigars ever released

by Johnny Mixx on February 4, 2009

 

Only 90 dealers across the country have the priviledge and honor to carry the Zino Platinum Crown Series Cigars. These cigars have received countless accolades and are incredible cigars.

They are bold and beautiful with full bodied aroma made from matured and aged tobaccos.

One of the most expensive cigars ever released — the Zino Platinum Crown Series — is the brainchild of the cigar industry’s oddest couple. The cigars, which have just come to market and sell for as much as $39 each, are a result of a joint venture between Davidoff of Geneva and the Arnell Group.

The Zinos are physically striking cigars. The shortest, called the Chubby Especial, is a perfecto measuring 5 7/8 inches long with a 61 ring gauge at its fattest point, which is its middle. At $34, it is the mid-priced member of the trio. The cheapest is the line’s sole parejo (or straight-sided cigar). Called the Double Grande, it retails for $29 and measures 7 1/2 inches long by 50 ring. The longest of the group is the Stretch. The 8 1/4-inch, 50 ring cigar has a suggested retail price of $39.

The cigars come packed in oversized metal matchbooks that serve as boxes, complete with a book of wooden matches and a business card with a phone number to reorder smokes from an appointed retailer. The cigars come three to a box, and are not sold as singles, making the buy in for any size a $100 affair once taxes are added. The cigars are emblazoned with large, bold bands, and its makers have designed them to be enjoyed with the priciest of luxury goods.
