From the Ezra Zion HQ:
“CHICKEN & WAFFLES is back for 2025...and it’s even more DELICIOUS and DELECTABLE than ever before!
Originally, Chicken & Waffles was our own private blend--but it was too good to just keep to ourselves! When we released it to the Ezra Zion Nation years ago...the feedback was absolutely overwhelming!
Here’s the backstory…we took the legendary C&W blend and added the most delicious “maple syrup” tobaccos to it! So rich and so syrupy-sweet!
**Seriously, you almost wanna eat it!
I will say this...CHICKEN & WAFFLES MAPLE SYRUP is one of our favorite blends ever! When you smoke it you will understand what I’m talking about. In the pantheon of legendary Ezra Zion blends, this absolutely sits on the top shelf!
CHICKEN & WAFFLES MAPLE SYRUP is a full-bodied, med/full strength 6x50 toro. Wrapper is a pristine and buttery Corojo 99 Rosado leaf. (Just look at that picture!) Fillers will remain very top secret...but they are all 6-12 years aged!
First light is a tidal wave of flavors! Brown sugar, milk chocolate, and maple syrup rush across the palate. Cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, and heavy whipping cream immediately follow. Raw leather notes emerge on the finish. The retrohale adds a warm spicy burn.
As it progresses, the blend becomes even smoother. Coffee bean, Almond Roca, and caramel emerge. The age of the tobacco really begins to shine. Hints of chocolate frosting and nutmeg emerge on the finish.
Halfway, it gets even richer! Creamy butter and cappuccino come to the fore. Anise, clove, and white oak join the mix. A wave of raw sugar cane and hazelnut 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, burnt marshmallow, and aged tobacco (don't know how to even describe this amazing flavor) begin to dominate. Maple syrup complimented by spicy black pepper. The burn is perfect and the cigar is cool all the way to the nub!
CHICKEN & WAFFLES MAPLE SYRUP is some of the best blending work we’ve ever done! Period. It's an absolutely luscious cigar! You’re gonna love it!"
