Rocky Patel The Edge 20th Anniversary Robusto Cigars
Celebrating two decades since work began on the cigar that basically started it all for Rocky Patel, The Edge 20th Anniversary Robusto sincerely demonstrates how far the company has come over the years. The original Edge was a value-priced stick offered in boxes of 100 and available in two simple variations. Since then, the number of cigars bearing the Edge trademark has grown to eight, the blend in question being the eighth installment. For this Honduran-made gem, Rocky went with a delectable blend of Panamanian and Honduran fillers, combined with a Honduran Habano binder. The real star of this show, however, is the wrapper: An Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf aged no less than 10 years. You read that right, the tobacco used here has been waiting for over a decade to wrap this cigar. Aside from an arms-wide-open welcoming from just about every Rocky Patel fan on the planet, The Edge 20th Anniversary promptly earned a pair of 90 ratings in Cigar Aficionado soon after its release.
For the packaging here, Rocky definitely crossed his Ts and dotted his Is. The luxurious red boxes scrolled with gold lettering pair beautifully with the elegant red and gold bands embracing each vitola. The foot band is a nice touch as well, designating the 20th Anniversary blend. Construction is what you would expect from Rocky Patel, meaning you are going to get a well-performing stick every time. The thick blue smoke pours from the head, bathing the taste buds with an introduction of nuts and white pepper. After this, the secondary flavors of cedar and cinnamon come through, all wrapped around a core of earthy and robust raw tobacco. The finish is creamy and zesty, just spicy enough to keep things interesting. All in all, this cigar finishes as a solid medium-full-bodied blend, but the flavor profile is immaculate. The 5 ½" x 50 robusto is a popular size that is a great way to get acquainted with the blend.
Over the years, the Edge series has been comprised of cigars appropriate for just about every palate imaginable. They are affordable, well-made, and simply enjoyable all-around, no matter the blend. For this one, however, Rocky may have a different audience in mind. The dazzling complexity, luxurious balance, and delicate twists and turns offered by The Edge 20th Anniversary mean it is something special, and something for experienced connoisseurs to truly enjoy. This blend pairs well with port wine, scotch, or dark rum and is a great way to celebrate life's special occasions. Fans of Rocky Patel Fifty or Decade should grab this blend ASAP, as some are already calling it Rocky's best concoction to date. Whether you happen to be a long-time Rocky Patel fan or just love top-shelf cigars, now is the time to celebrate 2 decades of quality, value, and downright great cigars with Rocky Patel The Edge 20th Anniversary Robusto.
