From the first third, buckle up for a sensory onslaught: black espresso, extra-dark chocolate bar, rum barrel sweetness, toasted marshmallow, thick cream, and a rush of raw jalapeño pepper. The second third delivers a transition to silky milk chocolate, raw leather, roasted almond, hickory wood, black licorice, and the punch of black & white pepper. The finale brings notes of chocolate milk, amber ale, brown sugar, malt, Cuban coffee, vanilla bean, ginger, and a finishing hint of white frosting.
Sledgehammer is built for those who crave a dense, complex, slow-burning smoke. The aged San Andres Maduro wrapper delivers layer upon layer of cocoa and coffee, while the diverse filler and binder blend adds to the depth: earthiness, spice, malt, and the occasional sweetness reminiscent of thick desserts and robust spirits. The included metal hammer accessory not only sets this release apart visually but also celebrates the cigar’s hard-hitting strength and boldness—a collector’s piece for true Ezra Zion devotees.

This one hits hard 🔨. It’s full-bodied and loaded with dark chocolate and roasted almond notes. Burns razor sharp and the draw is delightfully resistant, making this a slow smoke.

I’ll admit it, I bought it because it has a wee metal hammer on it – but Ezra Zion blends some very unique cigars, so it was worth a shot… and was it. Wow. Enjoyed it after a hearty Irish stew, and it was absolutely complimentary – deep, earthy flavours (rather like a good lamb stew), with black and white pepper (the flavours rather than the burn), smoked woods and cheese, and a strong espresso core. This is definitely strong, and definitely rich – have after a large meal only!
