Ezra Zion Tantrum??

[BenvolioMustDie]

Anyone smoked any if these?

Read a few reviews and it's piqued my interest but $9.50 a stick seems a bit much, especially seeing as any order from CigarFed is $30 to ship.

Just wondering if anyone's had one and thinks it's worth it, or is there something that's similar for le$$?

Couple of points, and I say this as someone who runs Cigar Federation:

* The Tantrum was #1 Cigar of the Year according to halfwheel's Consensus Rankings.
* I have not been overly enamored with the Ezra Zion offerings overall, but as I wrote when I reviewed this in September, the Tantrum is (or was until I smoked the Collective) my favorite EZ offering to date. Packs a punch with a chocolate-chile flavor that I found enjoyable.
* I agree that the price point is high, but I was actually surprised at the smoke time on this - I'm a faster smoker and I smoked this in just under an hour so its not exactly a 30-minute smoke.

In the end, I don't know that they are box-worthy, for me, but if you bought a 5er, used a discount code to get 10% off, and then added something else to your order to account for the shipping to the UK, it might be worth it!

I met up with Nate from Emilio once and he gifted one of those to me. It was very good and a freaking pepper and nicotine powerhouse.

I think the Tantrum is amazing. It made #4 on my list of top 13 cigars of 2013.

Here's a review if you're interested:

The TL;DR summary was:
The Ezra Zion Tantrum is a full bodied and full strength cigar. Do not let the vitola fool you, this cigar will sit you down hard if you’re not careful. Again this cigar is a very limited release so if you’re considering them you should jump on the purchase sooner rather than later.

Wow, some really favourable reviews to go with ones that got me interested.

Will have to pull the trigger on these.

Does such a thing exist!?

The price and taste of this cigar does not do it justice but then again....there is always somebody out there who will like them.

 

[Angry Bill]

Love all if the erza Zion sticks.

It does. And how about this ... we'll make a BOTL specific code: botl10

Still haven't tried any ezra zion. Is there such a thing as a sampler pack or box for these?

You can build your own sampler on the CigarFed Store. You can't specify vitola, except with the Tantrum as that only comes in 4.44x44.

Yes indeed.

Sounds good to me! I'll try to get to it after awhile thanks!

Pushed the boat out and ordered a couple of 5ers, some of them might find their way back over the pond.....

Is that phrase not as well used over in the states? Quite a popular one here in the UK.

Either way what I was alluding to was that it seems a lot of people are yet to try an Tantrum so now that I've got some I may as well share a few.
