The following press release comes from Oettinger Davidoff, the parent company of Zino.
Tobacco leaves are the inspiration for this new accessories collection. Designs are given a contemporary twist, revealing the leaves’ grain, veins and structure. Colours are bold, bright, and dynamic giving this line a fresh, modern take.
“These new Graphic Leaf Collection accessories will draw in a new generation of cigar aficionados, eager to enjoy a cigar whenever they wish. It has been created to suit a busy, modern, global lifestyle. These accessories boast superb performance with cutting edge design,” says Charles Awad, Senior Vice President Global Marketing & Innovation at Oettinger Davidoff AG.
The new lighters have different colours on the front and back and the same leaf design. They operate with a blue jet flame, ideal even for windy conditions, and have a window at the back so the exact gas level is always visible. An advanced safety feature means the lighter cannot be activated while upside down. The result is a sleek, stylish, contemporary lighter that is efficient and easy to use. MSRP: USD $ / 130.00 per lighter.
The new double-bladed cutters also come with different colours on the front and back in the same leaf design. Stainless steel double blades guarantee a clean, precise cut and can cater to cigars with a ring gauge of up to 60 RG. MSRP: USD $ / 60.00 per cutter.
Completing the collection are the must-have new calf leather cases, decorated in the same leaf design and available in XL-2 and R-2. The cases come in the same four colours in an adjustable length, and their slim, ergonomic shape means they feel comfortable to handle, without being bulky, ideal for a younger person with a more casual wardrobe and less pockets. Cellophane cigars will stay humidified for 15 days. MSRP: USD $ / 85.00 per XL-2 leather case and USD $ / 65.00 per R-2 leather case.

The new Zino Graphic Leaf accessories Collection will be available to cigar aficionados at selected Appointed Merchants in the US, and at Depositaires/Davidoff Flagship Stores worldwide starting in September 2016.
