RP The Edge Maduro

[erickghint]

I had heard numerous accounts of this being one of the stronger cigars on the market. I found it to be full bodied, and a good strength. Nothing out of left field, but decently strong.

Wrapper - Maduro
Binder - Nicaraguan
Filler - Secret, according to the website.
Prelight - Almost floral scent.


First third: An extremely easy draw on this one, that produces a spicy, rich smoke. It has that floral sweetness to it, but is also a bit bitter. (not a bad bitter) The burn is nice and even, and the ash is a nice whiteish gray that holds on for about 1.5" .

Second third: More spice in this third. The smoke coated my mouth with more of the rich spicy flavors that I welcomed in the first third. The bittersweet taste is still there, but not as pronounced. Nose exhale produces a medium burn, with more of the floral scent.

Final third: This cigar finishes strong. A wonderful finish of toast, and tobacco. From start to finish it produced ludicrous amounts of smoke that were flavorful, and relaxing. I don't know if it lives up to all the hype that RP puts on it, but it's a damn good smoke. I would definitely smoke one again, given the chance. Not an every day stick by any means, but something from time to time that I would enjoy.


Personal Rating: 87

Thanks for the review. I got one of these as a gift once, and really enjoyed it. It went for a long time, and put me down at the end.

Thanks for the review. I haven't had a chance to try one yet but a friend of mine said it knocked him out.

I had one about 8 months ago that had very little rest, it seemed harsh to me at that time. I think I'll try one of the others I have been letting hang out for a while.
