Unlike the Zino Platinum series, the Classic blend is more than smokeable. Of course, I will not put it on my list of favorite sticks, but the Zino Classic No. 8 deserves at least one try and who knows, you may actually like it in case you're into milder, gentle cigars.

Appearance : ★★★★★
The black tube looks gorgeous and the stick itself is very attractive too, with its smooth claro wrapper.
 
Construction : ★★★★★
I found these to be very skillfully rolled, all 3 that I smoked for this review had perfect burn & draw and produced impressive amounts of smoke.

Flavor : ★★★½☆
The flavors are mostly vegetal throughout the smoke. It starts off with a light aroma of straw, then develops elegant woody notes. At the halfway mark, a pleasant floral taste appears. At this point, the woody notes are simply getting stronger and stronger, however, without crossing the medium-bodied limit.

Value : ★★★★☆
It's a decent price for a well-constructed churchill.

Overall Rating : ★★★★½
Far from powerful, the Zino Classic No. 8 is remarkably balanced and good-looking. Beginners will find it delicious.
