Rocky Patel The Edge Corojo

Since 2004, The Edge has been one of the best-selling cigars in the country, and the Corojo is the one that started it all. Rocky Patel and master blender Nestor Plasencia built it at the Plasencia factory in Danlí, Honduras, wrapping aged Honduran and Nicaraguan long-fillers in a Nicaraguan binder and topping it all with a rich, oily Cuban-seed Corojo leaf grown in Honduras.

Medium-full in strength, the profile runs from cedar and toasted almonds early on into deeper notes of espresso, nutmeg, and dark cocoa as it burns down. It carries a quiet spice throughout that never bites, just builds. Consistent, well-constructed, and priced to smoke every day. Once you find your vitola, you'll want a box on standby.
