Core Zero Cigars Metal Review

Cigar: Core Zero Metal / CZ Cigars

Size: Toro 6x52

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano Maduro

Price: $6.00

     

     CZ Cigars started from the ideas of Bryan and Nick with thoughts of making a cigar based on their metal rock band from Denver, Colorado Core Zero. Bryan with his military and law enforcement background set out to make a quality cigar at a reasonable price that military personnel and police officers could afford. CZ Cigars was later born and in their first line released two blends the Indie and Metal.  The Indie is a medium bodied cigar with a Sumatra wrapper.  The Metal is medium to full body maduro.  CZ cigars are manufactured in Estelli, Nicaragua in the "cathedral" factory with tobacco that is aged for at least three years.  Today I am going to review the Metal.

The Band/Appearance:

The band is silver metallic, red, black, and showcases the name of the company Core Zero.  The cigar also has a foot band which identifies what blend you are smoking either the Indie or Metal.  The band also has a outline of a shiny silver metallic badge in the center which identifies the law enforcement roots of the company.  The wrapper of the Metal is a Nicaraguan Habano Maduro.  The wrapper is dark brown with medium size veins, and has a semi oily feel to it.  The Metal has a light pre lit aroma of leather, with a hint of cedar.

The Beginning:

Well as I always say lets toast this cigar up and get started.  The first few draws seem very light with hints of leather, cloves, and a touch of cedar.  The smoke output is a lot heavier than I thought and the cigar is burning well.  The ash is dark and seems to be holding well.   I would say this cigar is very light for a maduro. I would classify it as a medium body at the end of the first third.

The Middle:

In the second third the leather taste is still dominating my palate.   I am picking up slight hints of pepper and a butter pecan taste.   The burn is really sharp and the construction continues to be flawless. The Metal is not very complex in flavor and continues to smoke like a medium body cigar. 

The End:

I have reached the final third of the Metal. The hints of cedar and leather have taken over my palate again. The pepper taste is very dull at this point and the delightful hints of butter pecan have disappeared. The construction has continued to be flawless though the entire smoke. 

Final Thoughts:

The metal is definitely a medium body cigar that would be a great Maduro for the beginner smoker. If you like a cigar with leather,cedar,pepper, and hints of butter pecan for dessert than you will enjoy the Core Zero Metal. The cigar had great construction and quality for the price. It's time to rank this cigar on the 2 Cigar Guys And A Humidor Scale. I have gave the Core Zero Metal a score of 8.1 out of 10.  I would like to thank Bryan for sending a sampler to me for the review.  Check out there website at CZ Cigars.
