Will Whore for Cigars
Decided I wanted to live life on "The Edge" tonight. I had smoked a samller version of this cigar as my second cigar ever, and it laid me out. I thought I had learned enough here over the last 5 months, that I could handle this big 6 x 60 Edge with no problem....I was right!:ss

Here is the beast on death row.

It was tough to light and then had some burn issues as you can see below. It had a nice "cigar" aroma. A subtle spicy leather taste and it smelled a little like charcoal on the grill. (this is a good thing!)

Ash was looking good except that damn funky burn.

cigar poo...I hate when this happens

started to get that nice buzz feeling here, but it was a good buzz this time.

Flavor is pretty consistent so far. Lots of creamy smoke.
Ash looks nice here. Salt n pepper and flaky.

Because of three touch ups, it started burning little harsh and started to tatse ashy, so I let it die here.

Very nice smoke. have one more stowed away that will age a little more. This one only had two weeks on it.

I give it 4 out of 5.

Great review. I've had very minor burn problems with the Missile and Torpedos but nothing like what the pictures show.

I really, really like the Edge Maduros. I've tried the Edge "Off-color" from Holt's side by side with a regular Edge Maduro and can't tell the difference. I think the next new stick will be the Edge Corojo.
 
I love the Battalion Edge. It's quite a smoke and will easily consume the better part of a couple hours.

Great review :tu Were you smoking it too fast? That would be an easy reason for the burn issues.

I don;t think so. It took nearly two hours to get down and I was making a concious (sp) effort to go slow so the nic buzz wouldn't kill me.
 
Great review. I have a couple of these babies laying around. I think you inspired me to give it a try.

I have also had many burn problems with the edge but never a taste problem and that's why I keep coming back.
