Zino's New Blue Gear Costs the Same as Last Year's

Davidoff's Zino brand is refreshing its Z-Collection accessories line in blue, and the most surprising thing about it is the pricing. The ten-piece deep blue and turquoise set, patterned after tobacco leaves, lands October 15 at appointed merchants and flagships with prices unchanged from last year's green edition. The range runs from an $85 double-blade cutter and $70 punch up through $120 and $150 lighters, $160 and $175 leather cases sized for 60-ring-gauge cigars, a $220 ceramic ashtray, and three humidors: a 60-count at $900, an 80-count at $1,190, and a ten-cigar travel model at $635 with a magnetic lid. In a year when nearly everything premium has crept upward, holding the line on accessory pricing reads as a deliberate choice to keep the collection an entry ramp into the Davidoff ecosystem rather than a luxury flex.
