Rocky patel the Edge maduro toro cigar review

Table of Contents

Construction

The minimal band at the foot around the cigar gave me the feeling of here and now. Nothing but the cigar counts for the moment. When the band was gone, there was just you and the cigar. The cigar was firm and even, the wrapper had a slightly rough and matte feel without any oiliness.

Wrapper: Costa rica – Binder: Nicaragua – Filler: Honduras and Nicaragua

Taste

Smell and cold draw

The scent I smelled on the wrapper reminded me of farm and beech forest while the filler smelled of farm and hay. The cold draft brought nuances of general sweetness and hay.

1/3 lets light up the cigar and see what it has to offer

I stepped into the first third of the cigar and felt a faint creamy texture. The flavors the cigar gave were general pepperiness, saltiness, leather, cedar, ground dark roasted coffee beans, hay and cacao. In the background was a flavor that reminded me of pine needles and a syrup-like sweetness mixed with raisins. The retrohalation really tickled and produced flavors that are most easily described as a mixture of white pepper, black pepper and rose pepper. The flavors in the first third fluctuated a lot between each other, like a competition which would be the dominant flavor.
