Description
The Rocky Patel Edge Toro Maduro is a 6 x 52 toro from The Edge Maduro line, with a dark Costa Rican wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler, rolled in Honduras.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado reviewed this exact Toro in its October 2006 issue, scoring it 87 points and rating it medium-full. The tasters found a deep, woody smoke with a hickory edge and a little sweetness, and they flagged a somewhat uneven burn. That review is from 2006, so blends and crops may have shifted since.
Who It’s For
- Everyday maduro smokers who want a dark wrapper from a regular-production line.
- Smokers stepping up in body from milder sticks toward a medium-full blend.
- Edge fans curious how the maduro wrapper changes the toro compared with the Corojo version.
Pros and Cons

- Dark Costa Rican wrapper, the leaf Nish Patel pointed to for the sweet side of the Edge A-10 blend
Cons

About The Edge Maduro
Cigar Aficionado and halfwheel both date The Edge to 2004, when it came in just two sizes, a toro and a torpedo. Cigar Aficionado identifies the maduro leaf as Costa Rican, and halfwheel reports that The Edge is rolled at Plasencia’s El Paraíso factory in Honduras.
Pairing and Storage
A medium-full maduro sits between the medium and full tiers of our cigar pairing guide, so a bourbon or an aged rum both suit this toro.
