Okay, for the Saturday winner of the Guest Review Contest, we’ve got Stephen P. giving us his descriptive account of Rocky Patel’s most popular cigar.  Congratulations to Stephen for winning the second 5-pack of La Flor Dominicana Macheteros.

Keep your eyes peeled as we’ll be bringing you another contest here soon!!

The Rocky Patel the Edge has become a maintsay in humidors everywhere. It is understandable why.  A very powerful 5×48 torpedo with a perfect wrapper that looks like a nice dark chocolate.  Made with a Costa Rican wrapper and Nicaruguan filler it is truly a great smoke.  It imparts great flavors throughout.  The flavors range from slight hints of chocolate to leather. The first quarter of the cigar has a cocoa flavor with undertones of leather and spice that never leave.  Next, the flavors begin to change into a slight nuttiness with some coffee and spice undertones.  The third quarter of this finely made cigar starts imparting more spice but is never overwhelming.  Upon nearing the finish it turns to a very black peppery flavor with some hints of the previously noted leather.  A perfectly balanced cigar that takes about 45 minutes to smoke and can only get better with age.  This is a perfect smoke for any smoker, new or seasoned. ~ Stephen P.
