The #7 Cigar of 2015, Rated '94'
Rocky Patel’s The Edge gets another member added to the family of cigars...
After years of requests Rocky Patel has finally released a new Edge, and this one takes the cake becoming the first ever Nicaraguan puro in the group. The Edge cigars have been a best-selling staple within the industry since its release, and The Edge Habano carries the torch, with full-tilt taste and a rewarding aroma. This stunner shares its predecessor's spirit with a strong, spicy profile and a long, sweet and savory finish. However, the Habano has a bit more complexity to it, with dried fruit, red wine, and some sweet tea notes on the long finish.
The cigar is a looker. The super oily Habano wrapper looks just right. Mix that with tobaccos from Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa, and we've got ourselves a top-notch Nicaraguan that you simply have to try! The blend is bold, but balances out eventually. The beginning bit blasts your palate with spices and pepper, as toasty nuances never overpower the overall experience.
