Ezra Zion Chocolate Toffee Bar Box Pressed

Ezra Zion Cigars has a new cigar on the block, and they are pioneering a chocolate experience like no other! Chocolate​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Toffee Bar Box Pressed by Ezra Zion Cigars is just pure indulgence, in a very simple way. A cigar like this one simply rejects the idea of moderation and goes for flavor more than anything else. In case chocolate is your preferred way of expressing love, you may even think that this one is fate. Decidedly rich, bold, and extremely expressive, Chocolate Toffee Bar gives you the kind of dessert-level pleasure that makes you stop halfway through and wonder how tobacco can taste so heavenly.

The chocolate toffee bar was inspired when Ezra Zion broke into his legendary stash of deeply aged tobaccos and challenged himself by asking: without going over the line, how far can we stretch chocolate? The answer was “much further than you think”. By combining tobaccos that had been aged from 4 to 14 years, amongst which was the Sumatra Maduro wrapper that was specially fermented and 12-year-aged, the whole idea of the blend was formed with no restraints at all. The binder and fillers are kept secret, but the main point was the lengthy fermentation, incessant aging, and the final blending step to achieve one simple goal – crank up the chocolate character to its max and keep it there.

From first light, Chocolate Toffee Bar Box Pressed comes out swinging with dark chocolate, English toffee, cocoa nibs, heavy cream, and espresso. Cake frosting and white oak balance the sweetness, while a touch of red pepper keeps things lively. As the cigar settles in, flavors of Almond Roca, semi-sweet chocolate chips, caramel, amaretto, and black peppercorn begin to emerge. Midway through, the age of the tobaccos really shows—brown sugar, molasses, butter, aged leather, and black tea layer in, with hints of nutmeg and clove adding warmth. The final third is full chocolate meltdown mode, stacking rich dark chocolate with notes of cashew, marshmallow, nougat, Red Hots, and a splash of whiskey, all the way down to the nub.

Chocolate Toffee Bar Box-Pressed is a 6.8×48 box-pressed Churchill, full-bodied with medium-plus to full strength, and can be easily considered as the most decadent cigars ever produced by Ezra Zion Cigars and Nomad Cigars. This is a great choice if you are a chocolate lover or a flavor chaser. If dessert cigars are your thing, then this one is not only your humidor’s occupant, but it really deserves a front-row ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌seat.
