Ezra Zion Makin’ Bacon Extra Crispy Belicoso

One of my favorite ‘lines’ or ‘series’ from Ezra Zion cigars just dropped, and it got a makeover! And that’s the savory and sweet blends that bear the bacon name! Introducing the Ezra Zion Makin’ Bacon Extra Crispy. This new release boasts a very aged Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper and is constructed in a beautiful belicoso vitola. From the first draw, it’s easy to understand why Ezra Zion Cigars took their time bringing this legendary blend back. It is a very limited drop with only 690 cigars made for the entire run.

The team at Ezra Zion knew they couldn’t simply recreate the original—they had to make it even better. After nearly two years of blending and experimenting with some of their oldest tobaccos, Makin’ Bacon Extra Crispy was finally ready. Built around a gorgeous 14-year-aged San Andrés Maduro wrapper and filled with rare tobaccos aged between four and fourteen years, this 6 x 54 belicoso delivers the kind of richness that has become a signature of Ezra Zion. Like many releases associated with Nomad Cigar projects, the exact blend remains a secret, letting every smoker discover its character one draw at a time.

According to Ezra Zion cigars, the flavor profile is deep, layered, and constantly changing. It opens with rich caramel, dark chocolate, black pepper, and aged leather before roasted espresso and dark brown sugar begin to take over. The final third is where everything comes together, with flavors of graham cracker, vanilla bean, honey, maple, and warm baking spices creating a long, creamy finish that’s both bold and remarkably smooth.

The Ezra Zion Makin’ Bacon Extra Crispy is available now at Oak Glen Tobacconist while this limited release lasts. Whether you’ve enjoyed Ezra Zion Cigars for years or you’re looking to discover one of the finest boutique releases available today, this cigar deserves a place in your humidor. Light one up, take your time, and you’ll quickly understand why so many smokers have been waiting for its return. Look for them at OGT Cigars!
