Ezra Zion Espresso Exxotica And Cream

Ezra​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Zion’s newest project, Espresso Exxotica and Cream, just dropped, and it’s an extravagant cigar for people who crave serious flavors. Only 540 were made! Unabashedly indulgent, rich, and bold, this release offers a combination of what people love in great coffee, along with decadent creaminess and luscious chocolate character. It’s a full-bodied cigar, medium to strong in strength, delivering a luxurious experience that feels deliberate, polished, and satisfying throughout.

A calendar did not determine this cigar release—it was perfection that marked its path. The Espresso Exxotica and Cream was a project that existed for almost five years in the EZHQ blending lab, starting as far back as 2021. It had been blended, taken apart, reassembled, and tweaked endlessly. Wrappers changed, fermentations altered, and primings adjusted repeatedly. If it wasn’t perfect, it didn’t get out of the lab. The creators’ love of coffee, a constant in their lives, largely motivated the deep level of obsession behind this blend. The intent was definitely not to be subtle; it was to make a cigar that represents the richness, intensity, and luxury of espresso and cream in the most direct way.

The flavor profile does not disappoint even a bit from the first puff. The lead-in is a mix of creamy dark chocolate, espresso beans, heavy cream, and warm baking spices, which is immediately followed by freshly brewed coffee, black pepper, and vanilla ice cream. The finish is redolent with white chocolate and buttercream, while the retrohale brings in a gentle cinnamon warmth. As the cigar progresses, flavors of dark brown sugar, white oak, whipped cream, cocoa, and clove emerge, with a mocha character, making the finish quite bold. The middle part of the blend is so rich that it reveals caramel, cappuccino, cake frosting, aged leather, toffee, dried fruit, cardamom, and graham cracker. The crescendo in the final third stage features café latte, whiskey barrel, nutmeg, toasted almond, custard, and deeply roasted coffee, among other flavors that culminate.

The Ezra Zion Espresso Exxotica And Cream is crafted in a 6.25 x 48, the classic Corona Gorda shape, and features a 12-year San Andrés Maduro chocolate leaf. It is said that the tobacco used in the binder and filler is so closely guarded that its identity is a secret, yet each is aged for 5 to 13 years. This is a product tailor-made for true aficionados of boutique cigars who, in addition to depth, appreciate balance and excellent workmanship.
