Description
The Rocky Patel The Edge Habano Toro is a Nicaraguan-made 6 x 52 toro in The Edge Habano line, its binder and filler grown in Estelí, Condega and Jalapa. Rocky Patel notes that every other Edge variety is rolled in Honduras.
What It Tastes Like
halfwheel reviewed a 2012 prerelease sample of this toro and found leather throughout with milk chocolate, coffee and toast early, then cedar, earth and light pepper, moving from mild-medium to medium. Cigar Coop (November 2012) called the Toro the milder size, at medium strength. The Torpedo, a different shape, scored 94 and placed seventh in Cigar Aficionado’s 2015 Top 25, labelled full (January 2016 issue).
Who It’s For
- Nicaragua fans who want the one Edge blend not made in Honduras.
