What it tastes like

what the wrapper usually brings

Rocky Patel The Edge 20th Anniversary uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Sumatra wrappers tend toward earth, cinnamon and a mild sweetness. That is the leaf's general character, not a tasting note for this cigar.

How to smoke it

rules of thumb
  • When: A full-strength cigar is best after a full meal and never on an empty stomach; keep water nearby and slow down if you feel the nicotine.
  • Pair with: cognac, a brown ale, or coffee.
  • Pace: about a puff a minute keeps it cool and lets the flavors change from third to third. Do not inhale.
  • Before lighting: cut just above the cap line, toast the foot evenly, and take a cold draw to check it.
