First puffs of wheat and tea become increasingly intense as the cigar burns, with sweet cedar and spice emerging later.

Rating: 90/100

I would classify this cigar as a top shelf smoke, this is a cigar you want in your humidor for those times when you want to sit back and relax with a nice drink and be able to pay proper attention to the flavors of the cigar you are smoking. I enjoyed this cigar so much that I put through an order before writing up this review so I can get more in the humidor. This cigar is a pleasure to smoke, a pleasure to be around when smoked and gets our recommendation for being added to anyone’s lineup. When its all said and done, the Rocky Patel Edge A-10 gordo has earned an A rating with an overall score of 92/100

It’s amazing how we can’t always go home again. For me The Edge was a go to cigar over a period of a couple of years. However, over time I transitioned away from the brand and I was looking forward to smoking this. I expected some more complexity but the cigar was straight forward. While I enjoyed it, I realized that a cigar that was hot 10 years ago may not carry that same stature today. I would pick up a few of these for the nostalgia purposes but that is as far as I would personally go.
