The striking barber-pole wrapper isn’t merely aesthetic—this challenging rolling technique requires exceptional skill and creates a dynamic smoking experience as the alternating Corojo and Maduro leaves deliver contrasting yet complementary flavors with each draw. The lighter Corojo brings spice and cedar notes while the darker Maduro contributes chocolate and coffee undertones.

Beneath this remarkable wrapper lies a carefully selected blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan long-fillers that have been patiently aged to achieve optimal flavor development. These premium tobaccos provide the backbone for this full-strength smoke, delivering bold flavors of leather, earth, and black pepper balanced by subtle sweetness and occasional nutty notes. The construction ensures an even burn despite the complex wrapper configuration, testament to the expertise of Honduras’s finest torcedores.

This anniversary edition elevates the Edge legacy with its sophisticated profile that evolves through distinct thirds. The initial draws offer robust spice and cedar, transitioning to rich leather and espresso in the second third, before culminating in a complex finish of dark chocolate, black pepper, and toasted oak. Each transition showcases the masterful blending that earned this cigar its impressive 90-point rating, making it an essential acquisition for serious collectors and Rocky Patel enthusiasts.
