Meet the Rocky Patel The Edge 20th Anniversary Robusto - a box-pressed 5½"×50 stick commemorating two decades of bold blending. This Nicaraguan-Honduran puro arrives with decade-aged Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper boasting coffee oil sheen. Priced at $10.40 per cigar in 20-count boxes, it delivers medium-plus strength perfect for after-dinner sessions.
First Third: Immediate black pepper kick with burnt toast edges. Earthy foundation carries bitter cocoa nibs and roasted cashews through dense smoke output. Draw resistance requires deliberate puffs.
Middle Third: Transitions to sweet oak char. Coffee ground bitterness mellows into milk chocolate smoothness while maintaining nicotine punch. Retrohale reveals cinnamon stick spice.
Final Third: Leather tannins emerge alongside mineral notes. Requires frequent ash taps to prevent tar buildup. Last inch intensifies with white pepper finish that lingers 20+ minutes post-smoke.
Rolled at El Paraiso factory (Danlí, Honduras) using tobacco sorted in 12-stage quality control process. Binder leaves undergo 18-month fermentation before matching with filler blends. Post-rolling, cigars rest in Spanish cedar cabinets for 90-day equalization period.
