The Zino Nicaragua Gordo comes from the modern Zino line produced by the makers of Davidoff. Rolled in Nicaragua using tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras and the Dominican Republic, the cigar focuses on an easygoing and balanced smoking experience. It delivers cedar, cream, roasted nuts and light coffee, with touches of spice and cocoa appearing through the smoke. Its relaxed character suits casual smoking and pairs naturally with espresso, milk coffee or a light rum.

Zino:
Zino is a cigar brand named after Zino Davidoff, the pioneering tobacconist whose ideas helped shape modern cigar culture. The brand draws on Zino Davidoff’s belief that cigars should be social, enjoyable, and part of everyday moments rather than reserved only for formal occasions.
Davidoff:
Davidoff’s story begins with Zino Davidoff, who was born in Kyiv in 1906 before his family moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where they opened a small tobacco shop. As a young man, Zino travelled through South and Central America to learn about tobacco cultivation and cigar making. When he returned to Geneva, he introduced new ideas to the shop, including ageing cigars in controlled humidors and educating customers about proper storage and enjoyment.
His philosophy centred on refinement, patience, and craftsmanship. Over time the Davidoff name became associated with carefully selected tobacco, elegant presentation, and a focus on balance and consistency. In the late 20th century the brand established production in the Dominican Republic, where skilled rollers and carefully aged tobaccos continue the traditions that Zino Davidoff helped shape in the world of premium cigars.
