From the Ezra Zion HQ:
“So many of you have been emailing us and hitting us up on social to release one of our “private blends” to the Ezra Zion Nation!
And while we can neither confirm or deny the existence of such blends...we will be revealing one of them today for your smoking enjoyment...SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN!
SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN is a MASSIVE STEP UP from previous Fried Chicken blends! It brings that southern spice that we here in the south love so much in our fried chicken!
SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN is blended from some of the most phenomenal tobaccos that grow on Earth. LITERALLY!
The richness and complexity of flavors that we were able to achieve in this cigar are almost indescribable! (That’s why it was one of our “Private Blends!”)
I'm gonna be stone-cold blunt...SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN is a total and complete flavor bomb!
I’ll even take it a step further...SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN is one of our favorite blends ever! And if you think that’s hype… Wait ‘til you light it up!
Seriously—the tobaccos featured this cigar are absolutely incredible! So good, you almost wanna eat ‘em!
SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN is a full-bodied, med/full strength 6x54 toro. Wrapper is a buttery and rich Colorado leaf. (Just look at that gorgeous picture!) Fillers will remain a very closely guarded secret...but they are all 6-14 years aged!
First light is an explosion of flavors! Brown sugar, dark chocolate, and salted caramel rush across the palate. Cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, and heavy whipping cream immediately follow. Aged leather notes emerge on the finish. The retrohale adds a warming spicy burn.
As it progresses, the blend becomes even more complex. Candied almond, coffee beans, and maple emerge. The age of the tobacco really begins to shine through. Hints of chocolate cake frosting and cardamom appear on the finish.
Halfway, it gets even richer! Creamy butter and mocha come to the fore. Anise, clove, and white oak join the mix. A wave of raw cane sugar and cashew linger on the palate. The balance and sophistication of this cigar is absolutely second to none! So phenomenal!
Last third, everything elevates and intensifies! Dark chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and white pepper begin to dominate. Buttercream and cedar round out the flavors, balancing the cigar perfectly. The burn is razor’s edge and the cigar is cool all the way to the nub!
SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN is an absolute masterpiece! PERIOD! It's an utterly delicious cigar! You’re gonna love it!"
