Frequently asked questions about Ezra Zion Cigars
Who makes Ezra Zion cigars and where are they from?
Ezra Zion is a cigar company that sells through its own online store and has its own Ezra Zion Cigar Bar in Decatur, Texas; the bar's website currently says it is temporarily closed for renovations. Its product descriptions point mainly to Nicaraguan tobacco: House Blend uses Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo, while some blends add a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper, an Indonesian binder or Brazilian Mata Fina filler. Production has varied by blend: halfwheel reports that Tantrum was made at Casa Fernández in Miami and Tantrum Passive Aggressive at Tabacos Valle de Jalapa (TABSA) in Nicaragua.
How strong are Ezra Zion cigars?
Strength runs from medium to full. The brand describes FHK as medium in strength and body but very full in flavour, and House Blend as medium in strength and full-bodied. Eminence is described as having very bold flavours. The full-strength Tantrum and the somewhat milder Tantrum Passive Aggressive, which the brand says starts very full, eases to medium and finishes strong, are both listed by the brand as no longer produced.
Which Ezra Zion cigar should I try first, and how do the lines differ?
The lines differ mostly in flavour. FHK, with a San Andrés maduro wrapper, is compared by the brand to a brown ale. House Blend typically shows cream, nougat and toasted nuts that turn to caramel. Eminence lists coffee, dark chocolate, cinnamon and hazelnut. Tantrum (listed by the brand as no longer produced) was built around 17-year-old Medio Tiempo ligero, with dark caramel, sugar cane and pepper. Many releases are small and sell out, so what you can buy changes often. If you are new to the brand, a release the brand describes as medium in strength, such as FHK, is a gentler start than its full-strength blends.
