Zino Platinum launches new Z-Class Series Line
Zino Platinum, an ultra-premium cigar brand, introduces the new Z -Class Series, the first new line in 8 years, joining the already established Crown and Scepter Series.
The Zino Platinum Crown and Scepter series launched in 2003 will be complemented by a third line: The new and modern Zino Platinum Z-Class Series was inspired by motion. It was created to accompany a fast-paced affluent lifestyle, embodying ambition and opulence. The new blend features a Dominican wrapper, accented by a Peruvian binder and Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. These carefully selected, aged tobaccos create a spicy medium-to-full bodied cigar that surpasses the degree of perfection that Zino Platinum smokers demand. The Z-Class Series is complete with four classic formats: The 654 T (Toro), 550 R (Robusto), 546 P (Piramide), 643 C (Corona). Each shape has its own unique strength, flavor and aroma to allow for pleasure and variety. The power of Z-Class comes from a Dominican wrapper, Peruvian Pelo do Oro Visus binder and Jalapa Especial Ligero, Esteli Ligero, Cuban Seed Ligero, San Vicente Ligero filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and Honduras. The packaging continues to be innovative: All formats are packaged in an attractive and modern custom tin of 20 cigars accented with sleek black bands and are available May 2 at select merchants.

Punch 10th Anniversary Rare Corojo
Punch is releasing a special cigar to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Rare Corojo line that is released in limited supply every year. Everyone that has watched my reviews or talks to me on Twitter or the cigar forums knows I love Punch cigars. It, along with the Hoyo De Monterry Excaliburs and Ashton VSGs, were the first cigars I smoked when I started smoking cigars. Naturally, they hold a special place in my heart. The Rare Corojo line, though, has never been a favorite of mine. Nothing against the cigar, as many people love them. It just wasn’t my type of cigar. The new 10th Anniversary is a little different. It has the same fillers and binder as the Rare Corojo, but it has a different wrapper: Connecticut Corojo. Would this be enough to bring on board with the Rare Corojo? Watch the video and find out.

JC Newman Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Pyramid
I have a love/hate relationship with Diamond Crown cigars. I don’t really enjoy the regular line and the Maximus line is hit or miss with me. They can either be fantastic or a complete dud when I smoke them. I know. Its strange. So when JC Newman approached me to sample these cigars, I was intrigued. From what I heard at IPCPR 2009, it sounds like a nice departure from the other lines, one more to my liking. These were created to celebrate the 135th birthday (I know, I say anniversary in the video) of the founder of JC Newman Cigars, Julius Caeser Newman. They give us very little blend information on these cigars. So, do these cigar reign supreme or do you need to beware the ides of March? Watch the video and find out.
