Ezra Zion Red Rum — A Barrel-Aged Maduro Gets Its Sequel. Only 725 Made.
Posted on September 18 2026
Four years after Black Rum became one of the most requested cigars in Ezra Zion's lineup, the brand is finally answering with a follow-up built around the same barrel-driven intensity. Red Rum arrives as a full-bodied, medium-full-strength release wrapped in a 12-year-aged San Andrés Maduro leaf.
Wrapper: San Andrés Maduro (12-Year Aged)
Binder: Undisclosed
Filler: Undisclosed, aged 5 to 12 years
Strength: Full
Vitola: Toro, 6 x 52 (5-Pack)
Price: $71.35

The blend opens with molasses, dark rum, and charred oak before espresso bean and dark chocolate take over on the palate. A syrupy, barrel-sweet finish carries notes of vanilla bean and aged leather into the final third, where dark molasses and caramel linger longest. Total production is capped at 725 cigars, making this one of the more tightly allocated releases in Ezra Zion's catalog this year.
