Rocky Patel Edge Maduro Torpedo

Here is a post I made on facebook on May 15th 2011

Tonight I smoked a Rocky Patel cigar for the first time. It had a maduro wrapper which I don't smoke too often. This cigar looked beautiful very well made with no soft spot. I cut it using my Xikar cutter which I love, it makes a very nice cut and very easy to use.

The pre light draw had a nice flavor of rich dark chocolate, I had to take a few draw before lighting it as it was very delicious.

Then I lit the cigar with my Siglo single flame torch lighter (Thank Sis, it was a christmas present from last year) and I was very please with the first few draw, it had a richer dark chocolate flavor and a nice sweetness. As I continued to smoke the cigar It was very consistent, great flavor all the way through never burned too hot I would even say that the smoke was cool. The aftertaste was very pleasant. I really enjoyed that cigar It was not harsh. I smoked it to the nub and I already miss it.

Although they say the Edge is very full bodied cigar I did not find it too strong. There is a lot of flavor that's for sure but no too much strenght. I wasn't much of a maduro wrapper fan before, why? I don't know, but I will try more in the future.

In conclusion I will get some more and I was very pleased with that cigar.
