I've smoked a few of these and guys, you are either going to have to be alone or with someone who enjoys cigars or their aroma as you smoke (Or until you've bathed, brushed, rinsed, gargled and put on clean clothes) for a long 3 hour cigar. below I'll add the site for the cigar, but you may have to back out and enter your age.
This is a large cigar that comes in several wrappers. I'm not that deep into it, but I can spot a Connecticut wrapper and the first Edge I had was a light colored wrapper. The rest have been chocolate brown wrappers with a reddish, oily tint. I don't think I've let one rest in my humidor longer than 6 weeks and most of my stogies are purchased from Smokin' Joe's stores in the Knoxville area. I'm comfortable with the correct humidity.
These have some seams visible near the head, but I've never had one unravel and always cut with a Xicar cutter (hate that unraveling) which you know is sharp. There are some small visible viens but a smooth touch and the cigar is moderately heavy with a firm feel. Pre-light aroma is immeadiate with chocolate and coffee smells.
I need to admit here that I'm kind of cigar-snobbish as I never light a cigar by drawing on it. I use a propane "flame thower" toasting the cigar until lit. the only reason I do that is that if I'm gonna spend $10+'s on a few cigars, I DO NOT WANT TO TASTE BUTANE!
The Edge lights well and there's a slight resistance to the draw, but the result is a large volume of smoke. A silky-smooth smoke yeilds medium-full bodied flavors of chocolate, cinnamon and other spices. Tonight, I've been smoking this cigar for over 3 hours and it gives the same pleasure, without the body getting too hot, throughout the smoke. The cigar will stay lit with no attention for 4-5 minutes and leaves a long salt-and-pepper ash.
I hate this time of night; it's time to snuff the cigar. Obviously, time for bed (cigar stench and all!).
Enjoy a few of these for around $8-9. I usually have a few $6 and under cigars each week, but I do like to throw in at least one/two $7-8ers and one fine cigar hopefully under $12 and the Edge is doing the trick for me these days.
Let me know what you think and reccommend.
