Zino Mobile Luxury Lounge Goes on Tour
A few weeks ago, we wrote a short post on the increasing popularity of mobile cigar lounges. It looks like Zino has picked up on that trend and is celebrating their ten year anniversary with a nationwide tour. Press release below:
Zino Platinum, an ultra-premium cigar brand, unveils newest addition at international tradeshow, in celebration of ten-year anniversary. Zino Platinum pushes the boundaries of design with the unveiling of the newest addition to the brand, a mobile cigar lounge. The once-blank canvas, a Mercedes Sprinter 2500EXT, is now outfitted for the ultimate cigar lounge experience. The mobile lounge has every technological toy encased in it’s completely custom interior, including three new iPads, four 40” Westinghouse LCD TV’s, Sony Playstation 3, Apple TV, DirecTV, an LG BluRay player and a home audio system to support all. The mobile lounge wouldn’t be complete without the three built-in Zino Platinum Cavern humidors fitted in the rear and a custom cabinet humidor built into the interior.
Featuring six custom two-toned captain’s chairs with branded headrests and grey suede walls, the mobile lounge has every luxury appointment with the modern touches the brand is known for. Riding on 20” one-of-a-kind Asanti 163 wheels and Nitto Dura Grappler tires, the matte black van features gloss black logo accents and a gloss black
bull bar to complete the look.
When stationary, the lounge will have two outdoor tailgate areas complete with televisions and outdoor surround sound supported by Hertz and JL Audio systems. All of these appointments will be controlled by a custom-designed remote system housed in one of the three iPads. Designed in conjunction with BLVD Customs, based in St. Petersburg, FL, “the mobile lounge will transform the industry’s definition of brand experience,” Richard Krutick, Davidoff’s head of marketing, said. The Zino Platinum Mobile Lounge will tour the country beginning in September in support of the brand’s
ten years of existence.
