Rocky Patel 'The Edge' Lite

The milder brother of Rocky's powerful 'The Edge', this review is based on the 6" Torpedo, with a 52 ring gauge. This stick is handmade in Honduras, with a smooth and small-veined Ecuador-grown Connecticut wrapper and aged Nicaraguan and Honduran Ligero filler.

Though I've seen these described as 'medium', mine was quite mild in strength. The flavor was exceptional..well-balanced, creamy and very slightly earthy. Consistent taste from start to finish, with a great nose. The old lady didn't even mind me smoking it in the house. No burn issues whatsoever, construction was excellent.

I would definately recommend these.
