It's been almost two years — and it came back swinging.
Following cult classics like Brass Knuckles, The Raven, Blessed Leaf, Army Men, and the original Makin' Bacon is a dangerous game — those cigars didn't just become releases, they became legends. Which meant the follow-up had to knock out its predecessor and take the belt home. Meet Makin' Bacon Extra Crispy.
Makin' Bacon Extra Crispy is a full-bodied, medium-to-full-strength 6×54 belicoso wrapped in an oily 14-year-aged San Andrés maduro leaf. The binder and filler remain a closely guarded secret, but every tobacco in the blend has been aged between 4 and 14 years.
Blend Information:
- Vitola: 6 × 54 Belicoso
- Wrapper: 14-year-aged San Andrés Maduro
- Binder: Closely guarded secret
- Filler: Closely guarded secret
Tasting Notes
First third. First light is a huge wave of caramel and dark chocolate, with black peppercorn, tanned leather, and nougat close behind. The finish lingers long, adding maple wood and clove, while the retrohale carries a warming cinnamon burn.
Second third. Dark brown sugar and roasted espresso beans take center stage as black cocoa creeps in — with just enough sweetness to keep everything expertly balanced.
Halfway. Bourbon whiskey appears and white pepper begins to tingle the tongue. The flavors turn heartier and toastier, with molasses sweetness and a subtle note of Irish cream.
Final third. Everything deepens — all the earlier flavors grow more pronounced, joined by graham cracker, vanilla bean, and honey. Rich, luscious, and remarkably complex from light to nub.
Available individually or as a 5-pack preorder.
