Ezra Zion - Ten Year Anniversary

TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY is a full-bodied, med/full strength 6x52 box-pressed toro. Wrapper is a pristine 10-year-aged Corojo 99 rosado leaf. All tobaccos are aged between 8-18 years.

First light is an explosion of colossal flavor! Big notes of caramel, milk chocolate, espresso with cream, black pepper, vanilla bean, heavy whipping cream and nutmeg. Brown sugar, licorice, and white oak wood linger on the finish. The retrohale adds a warm pepper burn.

As it progresses, dark chocolate, frosting, and clove emerge. Hints of candied nuts, honey, and white pepper. Subtle note of cake frosting stays on the palate until the next puff. Gorgeous aged-tobacco taste begins to appear.  

Halfway, the flavors get richer and deeper! The chocolatey notes grow with added hints of cinnamon stick, white oak, and butter. Raw cane sugar sweetness and earth appear. Big blasts of buttercream wash over the palate. Absolutely delicious!

Last third is completely unbelievable! Maple wood, toasted marshmallows, molasses, and chocolate chips are added. Toffee, fresh roasted coffee beans, hickory, and all-spice. The burn is cool and the complexity continues to increase all the way to the nub of the nub
