his Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by kxthor911 (Nick).

The Cigar: Zino Platinum LE 2013 "The Make of Los Angeles" (6 x 54)

The Hype: Zino, one of the premier maker of the highest-quality cigars, set out to make a new Collector's Edition that embodied the experience of Los Angeles. They enlisted street artist and photographer Burton Machen to bring together four elements of Los Angeles for the box artwork: movies, cars, tattoos and music. According to Zino, these Toros feature a blend of "special tobacco varieties such as San Vincente Mejorado Visus, Piloto Visus, Olor/ Piloto Visus, San Vicente Mejorado Visus and San Vicente Mejorado Seco," that create "innovative aromas that offer inspiring pleasure." Zino's cigars are always immaculately rolled to provide the perfect burn and draw, on top of delivering easy-going and enjoyable flavors.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this new initiative in place.

Thanks again to Nick for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :smoker:

A cigar that embodies the spirit of Los Angeles, huh?  I feel like it should be a much bigger cigar.  You know, so you can smoke it during the three hour commutes!  :shy:
Yes, it's a pineapple hat.  No, you can't put your cigar out in it.

I got mine last Monday but I've had a cold and had to hold off writing my critique.  I'll get it done in the next two days.  My apologies for the snafu.


I'd rather have a cigar...

Thanks Nick for a great smoke.  I pulled up the rear on this one on account of a dentist visit yesterday but I really enjoyed this one.

Nice reviews, interesting enough read I want to try it now.

It's good to see the GC back on track.
