I had a chance to smoke RP Edge Lite a week ago and unfortunately the overall impression it left was not pleasant. At the beginning there wasn’t much taste and it was more like smoking water vapor but that’s understandable some 0.5 inch into a smoke. Then flavor started to pickup and smoke became thick and creamy. No spicy notes, just smooth and mellow smoke like I expected; very nice. Second third was probably as good and as I started smoking the last third of the stick cigar went off. I reignited but taste just wasn’t the same anymore. I checked wrapper was lit evenly and it definitely was but the taste was resembling a situation when only a filler is burning giving the smoke particularly bitter taste. As I took few more puffs it only became worse and I had to discard the rest of the stick.
I was willing to give it another shot in the future but after reading above review I’m extremely skeptic. Obviously something similar happened to Brian so my call would be that there is some flaw in construction of this cigar. It may not come up all the time and perhaps only some sticks are prone to it but something is just not right. Too bad because it could be a very good smoke but unfortunately seems to be unreliable.

Tried my first RP Edge Lite today and had a very pleasant experience. Like others have said, I was amazed at how well this stick burned. Razor sharp straight line all the way to the end. Ash held together for more than two inches even as I paced around talking to a buddy. The flavor was solid but not overpowering and the smoke was creamy and thick. I look forward to giving the RP Edge Lite another go.

I just got finished smoking one of these. I usually smoke a darker, richer cigar but this was one amazing cigar. The burn like you said was perfect. I too am really picky about having an even burn. It was wrapped very well to the point where the ash held on for fear of falling off. The draw was perfect, very easy but not overwhelming. Had it with some jack daniels and it was even better. I will definitely be adding this one to my list of favorites.

Every now and then I enjoy one of these in the morning with a cup of coffee. I never had the flavors you had in the last 3rd though. Hopefully you just had a bad stick.
