Rocky has so many labels out there, it is getting difficult to keep track of them. When my palate was into lighter-bodied smokes, the Edge Lite was my go-to cigar. From there, I have enjoyed the Edge Sumatra, and I was excited to try the Habano, since it happens to be a Nicaraguan puro!
Pre-light sniff revealed a traditional tobacco scent. Nothing more, nothing less. I used a punch, and quickly became concerned because the draw was really loose (pre-light). After toasting the foot, and allowing the cigar to do its thing, I ended up not experiencing any issues. The draw was on the looser side, however once lit, the resistance was acceptable.
1/3: Predominantly cedar in the 1st third. Decent burn line, draw corrected itself. No need for touch-ups or relights so far.
2/3: Thicker smoke is present in the 2nd third. The experience is very pleasant. Mild-medium strength at this point.
3/3: Still no relights or touch-ups. Notes of spice and pepper become more noticeable in the final third. Sadly, towards the end, this stick got moist and meaty. I would try this one again sometime.
