Meet Rocky Patel's The Edge 20th Anniversary Toro - a 6"x52 box-pressed beast celebrating two decades of sharp blending. This Honduran-made stick packs aged Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over Nicaraguan/Honduran guts, delivering medium-strength kicks perfect for afternoon sessions. The $11-per-stick price tag makes it approachable for regular rotation without skimping on construction quality.
The first inch serves up baking spices and cedar with background sweetness like molasses. Transitioning into the middle third reveals roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate bitterness that balances the initial sweetness. Final act brings peppery warmth without harshness, though nicotine buildup suggests stopping before the nub.
Textbook box-press with slight tooth on the espresso-colored wrapper. Draw resistance stays consistent until last third. Ash holds 1.5-2" before dropping - decent but not record-breaking. Smoke output stays moderate, perfect for relaxed sessions without overwhelming bystanders.
Rolled at El Paraiso factory in Danli, Honduras since 2017. This modern facility handles entire production from leaf sorting to boxing. Known for consistency in box-pressed vitolas - you'll find minimal wrapper variation between sticks. Like most Honduran puros, benefits from 2-4 weeks dry-boxing before smoking.
