Zino Pivots From Nicaragua to Honduras

Davidoff's value-luxury Zino brand is shifting terroirs. The new Zino Honduras, now reaching reviewers, wraps an Ecuadorian leaf around a filler built entirely from Honduran tobaccos grown in Copan and the Jamastran Valley. It follows 2021's Zino Nicaragua by five years and signals that the company sees Honduras as the next story worth telling at the sub-Davidoff price tier. That read matches the broader market: Honduras has spent years as premium tobacco's quiet workhorse, and several major houses have recently put Honduran soil on the band rather than burying it in the blend sheet. Expect a medium-bodied profile and pricing aimed at the everyday shelf, where Zino has always been designed to compete.
