One of Ezra Zion's finest achievements — and one of the most limited.
Kashmir Black Vanilla is a full-bodied, medium-strength 6×52 classic toro wrapped in a 12-year-aged Connecticut leaf. The binder and filler remain a closely guarded secret, but every tobacco in the blend has been aged between 4 and 13 years.

Tasting Notes
First third. First light is a massive blast of flavor — white chocolate, vanilla ice cream, caramel, brown sugar, and cinnamon rush across the palate. Cake frosting, heavy cream, and woodsy bourbon barrel follow immediately. The finish runs long, adding cane sugar and leather, while the retrohale carries a warm cinnamon burn.
Second third. Café latte, maple, and clove appear, followed by a blast of vanilla bean that leaves a lingering creamy sweetness.
Halfway. The body begins to strengthen — creamed honey, cocoa, heavy whipping cream, and molasses, with spice notes of cardamom and allspice. The richness and depth of the tobacco keeps building.
Final third. The flavors crescendo: huge notes of chocolate truffles, candied walnuts, and white pepper, with sweet tea, hazelnuts, and licorice emerging to round out an extremely complex bouquet.
Extremely limited production. Because of the rare tobaccos used, only 710 cigars were made. Once they're gone, they're gone. Available individually or as a 5-pack preorder — reserve yours now.
