Rocky Patel The Edge Candela

Good stick, easy draw with lots of flavor

Mild. Light citrus taste. Very good aroma

Awesome, flavor! This is a nice addition to any collection. Great to have something on the other side of spectrum. Draw was great, although the burn is consistently uneven

My friend Mark and I traded sticks and the Edge Candela is what I got. I have had the "green leaf wrapper" before and figured it would be a mild smoke. I should have known better just by the fact that this stick is branded with The Edge frontmark. I have known The Edge sticks with a darker wrapper and if I remember correctly it was full-bodied. So, I shouldn't have been as surprised as I was when I lit the Candela Edge. It immediately was quite spicy and I felt the power of pepper in the exhale without doubt. After the shock of the spice I found that there is some of that grass like flavor as expected. Initially it did not compete well with the spice, but as my buds adjusted and the smoke warmed up I found a nice balance. Folks this isn't a mild Candela wrapped cigar. It's more of a collision of smooth tea-like grass tastes juxtaposed with a peppery exhale. I actually get a kick blowing it out the nostrils for the slight sting. Leaave it to RP to make a unique green gar. It burned pretty well but a bit different as this wrapper often times will do so I did need a couple of touch-ups.

I liked it, I will buy more.
