EZRA ZION CHRIS BLEND ORIGIN STORY EP. 1: THE DARK MENACE

Only the greatest movie sagas release an origin story—a prequel that reveals the secrets of how our favorite epic came to be!

So we thought it was time to reveal the ORIGIN STORY of the CHRIS BLEND and his unique maduro cigar making approach…One that flips-the-bird to all the rules and nukes all the industry norms—leaving only carnage and riotous new cigars in its wake!

THE CIGAR WARS! CHRIS BLEND was originally released in May, 2016…Most folks have only heard about this cigar. (IT'S A TOTAL UNICORN!)

>> But what you don’t know is all the hundreds of blends that were made and re-blended in those early years—the years before anybody knew who Ezra Zion was. 

So after more than 15 years, the CHRIS BLEND ORIGIN STORY EP. 1: THE DARK MENACE is FINALLY being revealed. It’s the prequel to critically-acclaimed cigars like EMINENCE, BRASS KNUCKLES, PECAN PIE, and NINJABREAD MAN!

Let me just tell you…Chris belongs amongst the titans of cigar making! The dude is the Corojo Whisperer, the Sultan of San Andres, The Maestro of Ligero, and the Magician of Medio Tiempo!

So just wait until you smoke his secret personal blend!

🚨But a word of warning...This is a cigar for the true seasoned aficionado! (We recommend that the novice smoker pass on this one!) The flavors and character are deep, heavy, and rich...with a complexity that is absolutely astounding!

CHRIS BLEND ORIGIN STORY EP. 1: THE DARK MENACE is a full-bodied, full-strength 6.25x46 corona gorda. Wrapper is a 12-year-aged chocolatey San Andres maduro. Fillers will remain a very closely guarded secret...but they are all between 5-12 years aged!

First light is a detonation of flavor! Ultra-dark chocolate, brown sugar, toasted walnut, and heavy cream rush across the palate. Bursts of cinnamon stick and roasted espresso beans follow immediately after. The finish lingers long on the tongue with notes of nutmeg and vanilla. Retrohale adds a spicy black pepper burn. 

As it progresses, the age of the tobacco starts to be tasted immediately. The flavor is hard to describe...but it's colossal! Along with that are hints of raw cane sugar, bourbon barrel, and white pepper.

Halfway, the richness goes up another level. Espresso beans, caramel, milk chocolate, and aged leather emerge. Hints of cocoa, hazelnut, and clove appear. 

Last third, everything gets even more intense! Huge waves of dark chocolate reappear. Powdered sugar, walnuts, black licorice, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter. The last third could possibly be the most complex flavors I've ever experienced in a cigar!

CHRIS BLEND ORIGIN STORY EP. 1: THE DARK MENACE is a complete maduro masterpiece! Chris’ cigar-making virtuoso skills are definitely on display with the richness and complexity of flavor that he’s famous for! You are gonna love it…BIG TIME!
