What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado’s newsletter Cigar Insider scored this torpedo 86 points on December 6, 2005, rating it medium-full. Tasters found the draw even despite a rough, veined wrapper, and picked up charred wood, earth and cocoa before a finish with some spice, though samples varied.
Who It’s For
- Draw tinkerers who like choosing how deep to clip a tapered head.
- Maduro smokers who want cocoa and wood with some weight.
- Toro Maduro regulars curious about the same blend in a pointed shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- 86 points from Cigar Insider (2005) for this exact vitola
- Same 6 x 52 frame as the Toro, so the tapered head is the main difference
Cons
- The only confirmed score is from 2005, and those tasters flagged inconsistency
- Sources label it anywhere from medium-full to full
About The Edge Maduro
Cigar Aficionado’s 2015 Top 25 write-up says The Edge arrived in 2004 as unbanded cigars sold 100 to a rustic wooden box, in Corojo or Maduro, and later gained a footband to set it apart from imitators.
Pairing and Storage
Those cocoa notes suit espresso or bourbon from the medium tier of our cigar pairing guide, or aged rum from its maduro-friendly full-bodied list. A wrapper left too dry can crack, so follow our humidor basics guide to keep that tapered head supple.
