Picked from the vault - we received these July of 2021
From the original Ezra Zion press release:
"Sometimes you need a little sugar!
Our sweet tooth can get us in trouble with our waistline, BUT it seems to be the source of some seriously phenomenal blends...Chocolate Chip Cookie, Chicken & Waffles, Root Beer Float, Dark Chocolate Bar. (Just to name a few!)
BUT...if I had a crystal ball, I’d predict you’re gonna say that BROWN SUGAR Ltd. is the best dessert-style cigar so far!
If you are a fan of Ezra Zion cigars, then you know that brown sugar is one of our absolute favorite flavors to incorporate into blends. It’s rich and sweet, with a depth of flavor and caramel quality. Seriously delicous stuff!
We thought…”What if we made a cigar that featured all of our special “brown sugar” tobaccos? Could we even do that and keep the balance and flavor complexity?
(Well, you know us by now. It took us a few years of blending…but BROWN SUGAR is finally ready for you to light up and savor!)
Let me tell you…BROWN SUGAR Ltd. is absolutely impeccably balanced! And the flavors? ...well those are so complex, sugary, and rich that you’ll just have to experience them!
*It is unbelievably LUXURIOUS!
BROWN SUGAR Ltd. is a full-bodied, medium-strength 6.5x46 toro extra. The wrapper is a gorgeous Criollo 98 vintage leaf. Fillers will remain a closely guarded secret...but I can tell you that they are all between 9-12 years aged!
First light is an instant blast of brown sugar, melted butter, mocha, and raw leather. Hints of nutmeg and white oak. The finish adds a lingering note of clove and sweet tea. The retrohale adds a warm cinnamon burn.
As it progresses more waves of creaminess are added. Turbinado sugar and white chocolate appear. Vanilla bean and cashew begins to emerge on the finish.
Halfway, this cigar goes other worldly! Huge notes of rich caramel develop. Toasted almond, raw sugar cane, molasses, and whiskey barrel emerge. The age of the tobacco can really be tasted. The layers of flavors are expertly balanced.
The last third is amazing! (I'll do my best to describe it, but you're just gonna have to smoke it to really understand.) Fresh-brewed black coffee mixed with heavy whipping cream. Immediately following are hazelnut, custard, toffee, and just a hint of cayenne pepper. You will be smacking your lips after every puff!
Ok, seriously. BROWN SUGAR Ltd. has to win a #1 Cigar of the Year. It’s just too delicious! This is—without question—one of our personal favorites!"
