Once again, a special hanks to our friends from Duque cigar company for providing this fine cigar to evaluate. ![]() The Edge
![]() The Edge closeup Initial Thoughts Ever have one of those days where ya just don't feel like working? Today was such a day, and after putting in an actual 8 hours of completely mindless drivel, I'm ready to call it a day and relax. Thanks to Duque cigars., I have this chocolatey looking maduro cigar to relax and enjoy with. Construction appears to be pretty much flawless -- no soft spots, not a blemish to be found. Sniff test provides a deep earthy aroma... I'll be honest, almost "barnyard," but not overpoweringly so. The Smoke I use my guillotene cutter to clip the cap, toast and light the foot and take my first puff. Boom! Now THATS what I call some flavor! Now... to describe it... LOL. I would say kind of peppery with a slightly sweet finish. What else... the draw on this thing is perfect. I typically don't smoke torpedoes because at least one in five ends up not drawing right. In this case, its nice and easy. The burn is perfect, and produces a grey ash. I would also say that there's a hint of an almost leathery flavor thrown in there for good measure. At the 1/3rd point, the flavor is a little more peppery, and takes on some nuances of what I would describe as espresso along with everything else I described above. The draw and burn continue to be absolutely perfect. 2/3rds of the way through, and the burn, draw and flavor continue to be absolutely great. The Rating
No. 1 : These Cigars Rock I used to get the Edge Corojo when they came naked in boxes of 100. The guy behind the counter said that the maduros were a little sharp coming out of the gate. Sorry, pard. This is a perfect smoke from start to finish. I like a peppery cigar and the Edge really delivers. Save your Montecristos and Cohibas for those special occasions when you want to style and profile. At around $5.50 per stick you can make the Edge your after dinner cigar. |
