The Rocky Patel Edge Habano stands as a full-bodied masterpiece and the first Nicaraguan puro in the acclaimed Edge series. This full-bodied cigar earned the prestigious #7 spot on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2015 with a 94-point rating, delivering a profile rich with black cherries, figs, cocoa, and peppers alongside earthy spices. The cigar shares its predecessor's spirit with a strong, spicy profile and long, sweet and savory finish, enhanced with dried fruit, red wine, and sweet tea notes on the long finish. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Edge Habano is rolled in Nicaragua and features a stunning, oily Habano seed wrapper grown in Ecuador, with fillers and binder sourced from three prestigious Nicaraguan growing regions: Esteli, Condega and Jalapa. The tobaccos are aged for 5 years and the cigars are exclusively rolled at Rocky Patel's Nicaragua factory, Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A. in Estelí. This represents a departure from other Edge varietals that are typically rolled in Honduras. The Edge Habano is intended for a more seasoned audience, as its bold, full-bodied attributes are likely to intimidate those without serious experience with stronger cigars. It pairs exceptionally well with bourbon, black coffee, or full-bodied beer and is best enjoyed on a full stomach. Originally retailing for around $5-6 each, the Edge series has maintained its reputation for delivering exceptional value, making the Habano variant an accessible entry point into premium full-bodied Nicaraguan cigars.
