Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Rocky Patel Edge taste like?
The Rocky Patel Edge is a bold, full-bodied line built around aged ligero, the strongest leaves on the tobacco plant. Expect spicy white pepper, cedar, cocoa, caramel, and espresso, with the Corojo and Habano wrappers running the spiciest and the Sumatra the smoothest. All four stay smooth despite the strength.
How strong is the Rocky Patel Edge?
The Rocky Patel Edge is full-bodied. It was built as one of the stronger cigars on the market, and its boxes famously read 'Professional Smokers Only.' The Corojo and Habano are the fullest; the Sumatra smokes a touch smoother. Most reviewers find it lands medium-full and builds toward full.
Who makes the Rocky Patel Edge and when was it released?
Rocky Patel released the Edge in 2004, blended with Honduran cigar legend Nestor Plasencia. It was Patel's breakout value cigar, first sold unbanded in 100-count wooden boxes for around five dollars each. The Edge is regular production, handmade mainly in Danli, Honduras at the El Paraiso factory.
What wrappers does the Rocky Patel Edge come in at Renegade?
Renegade carries the Rocky Patel Edge in four wrappers, all in the Toro size: Corojo (Honduran Cuban-seed, spicy and full), Maduro (dark Honduran leaf, sweeter and earthy), Habano (a Nicaraguan puro, all one country's tobacco, with pepper and cedar), and Sumatra (Ecuadorian-grown, the smoothest of the four).
What is the blend of the Rocky Patel Edge Corojo?
The Rocky Patel Edge Corojo uses a Honduran Cuban-seed Corojo wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and a core of Honduran and Nicaraguan ligero. Ligero is the potent, oily top-leaf tobacco that drives the cigar's strength. The result is full-bodied and spicy, with pepper, cedar, cocoa, and caramel.
What sizes and prices does Renegade carry for the Rocky Patel Edge?
Renegade carries the Rocky Patel Edge in one size, the Toro (6x52), at $9.26 per cigar. It's stocked as singles in all four wrappers: Corojo, Habano, Maduro, and Sumatra. Rocky Patel makes the Edge in other vitolas, but the Toro is the size Renegade keeps in the humidor.
Is the Rocky Patel Edge good for beginners?
The Rocky Patel Edge is not the best first cigar. It's full-bodied with a strong ligero core, and the boxes warn 'Professional Smokers Only.' Beginners are better served starting milder. A smoker a few cigars in who wants to step up could start with the Sumatra, the smoothest of the four.
What should I pair with the Rocky Patel Edge?
The Rocky Patel Edge pairs well with bold drinks that match its strength: a strong black coffee or espresso, bourbon, or an aged rum. The spice and cedar of the Corojo and Habano stand up to barrel-aged spirits. Skip light lagers and white wine, which the Edge overpowers.
