The Rocky Patel Edge is the value cigar that broke Rocky through. Released in 2004 and blended with Honduran cigar legend Nestor Plasencia, it first sold unbanded in 100-count wooden boxes for around five dollars each, with boxes that famously read "Professional Smokers Only." Two decades and a wall of 90-plus ratings later, it's still one of the best full-bodied values on the shelf.
The Edge is built around aged ligero, the potent, oily top leaves of the tobacco plant, which is where its strength comes from. It's regular production, handmade mainly at the El Paraiso factory in Danlí, Honduras, and offered in four different wrappers — each one a different smoke.
The shared character is full-bodied and rich: spicy white pepper, cedar, cocoa, caramel, and espresso, smooth despite the power. The Corojo and Habano run the spiciest, the Maduro the sweetest and earthiest, the Sumatra the smoothest of the four.

🏆 2015 #7 Top 25 — Cigar Aficionado (Edge Habano)
Choosing Your Wrapper
Corojo — Honduran Cuban-seed. The spiciest and most full, with pepper and cedar leading.
Habano — The all-Nicaraguan one, rolled at Rocky's Nicaragua factory with a Habano-seed wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. Pepper, cedar, and cocoa, and the only Edge to make Cigar Aficionado's Top 25.
Maduro — A dark, oily maduro wrapper. The sweetest and earthiest of the four, with cocoa and coffee.
Sumatra — Ecuadorian-grown. The smoothest, and the best entry point if you're stepping up to the Edge for the first time.
