Lookin over the edge

Always looking for an everyday maduro cigar, every now and then an original cigar or idea will surface. In today's world its about keeping up with technology and the internet. Every once in a while we are able to glance back over our shoulder and encounter an excellent old idea. The Edge by Rocky Patel is and was that kind of stogie. Unbanded seconds (cigars) have been around in bundles for much longer than the unbanded first rate ones (The Edge, Omar Ortiz Originals, and the Camacho El Legend-Ario). The Edge is made in Honduras by Nestor Plascencia for Rocky Patel. Initially I tasted the corojo and the maduro toros, but with time have seen the maduro wrapper darkening and seeming to burst with more oil. The Edge can be found in boxes of 100 which are perfect for long term aging.

My cigar was smoked in concert with 6 fellow herfers, and all enjoyed excellent construction and burn. The 6x50 toro cigar was solid and very dark with a very oily sheen. The only downside to the wrapper was that the cap was very thin when punch cut. Wished It would have had a cuban cap! The draw was perfect, especially given the cigar density. As per taste: mine was consistent throughout with a slight sweet leathery peppery-ness which seemed to also include the taste of a strong iced coffee and unsweetened chocolate, maybe even a sense of almond(?). I would call it medium-bodied to full-bodied. The smoke was very pleasant and abundant.

Did this cigar compare with standing on the Grand Canyon and peering off the edge? probably not, but it may have compared to looking over my shoulder...

Maybe staying away from the precipice is not so bad... From my fellow herfer RL

Why It's "Limbaugh Redux" Time

Charles Cooper: Health Care Reform's Future May Rest On "The Great Rightwing Conspiracy"

"I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here," Limbaugh said on his radio talk show.

Pretty close to edge I would say...
