Cigar Review #0003
Date: 6/26/2014
Name: The Edge Corrojo by Rocky Patel
Size: 6x52
Shape: Torpedo
Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper color: Medium Brown/Dark Tan
Filler: Secret
Binder: Nicaraguan
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Price Range: $6-$7
Construction: smooth wrapper, very few veins, firm pack, even dark tan color, apparent entubado method of construction
Light: mild, cool, oaky, sweet tobacco, lots of smoke off the foot, perfect draw (neither loose or thick), nice sweet aroma
Foot: mild, smooth, cedar, ocean water, floral sweetness and cloves in the nose, lots of smoke, even burn, short finish, light gray ash
Body: mild to medium body, cool, still has oak flavors but with a subtle peppery finish, the cedar is still there which has been quite pleasant, as i was getting close to the head i noticed a subtle soapy flavor. I am not sure what causes that, if it is the youth of the cigar or the blend or what? If you read this reply to comment on this "soapy" flavor.
Head: medium body, cedar still, amazing aroma still, burning like a champ, woody, getting some more spice and particularly a holiday spice, slow smoke nearly 75 min and still 15-20 more to go
Conclusion: This cigar IMO is pretty great smoke if you are looking for a mild to medium body, sweet woody and clove taste. Great construction and slow burn makes this a stick you can enjoy after dinner with good conversation. Short finishes but smooth and clean tastes. I prefer a little more flavor and spice. Good value. I think this can be a reliable go-to cigar that wont let you down.
Score: 89
