Ezra Zion Candy Bar Ltd.
Limited to just 405 cigars, Ezra Zion Candy Bar Ltd. is a dessert-style, boutique toro built to unleash a “chocolate bomb” of flavor. Draped in a 7‑year‑aged San Andrés Maduro wrapper over a vault selection of 5–11‑year tobaccos, it delivers full flavor with medium strength—decadent, layered, and irresistibly confectionary.
Key Benefits & Features
- Ultra‑limited run – Total production of 405 cigars
- 7‑year San Andrés Maduro wrapper for dense cocoa, espresso, and molasses richness
- Aged core (5–11 years) yields seamless integration and velvety texture
- Full flavor, medium strength for indulgence without palate fatigue
- Dessert‑inspired profile engineered for post‑dinner sessions and coffee pairings
Detailed Description
Conceived with a “Snickers Blend” working title, Candy Bar Ltd. leans into confectionary territory with Ezra Zion’s hallmark small‑batch precision. The chocolatey San Andrés Maduro wrapper sets the tone—deep cocoa and espresso—while aged internals layer caramelized sugars, baking spice, and roasted nuts. Transitions unfold like courses of dessert: creamy, syrupy textures; café notes; and waves of nougat, graham, and maple‑tinged woods.
Despite the opulent flavor density, combustion remains steady and cool, with a resistance‑tuned draw that keeps sweetness articulate rather than cloying. It’s a purpose‑built dessert cigar that shines alongside coffee or a sweeter pour.
