Enjoyed the review Walt! It be interesting to see what Jerry thinks of the smoke since he’s the RP fan of the site.

Walt,

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not championing this stick although I do like it. It’s also true that reviews can’t really be “objective” and don’t always have to agree. I just found this one surprising because I was predicting you might find the Sumatra a comparative “lightweight”. It’s burn characteristics border on perfect when I smoke them, and the body barely gets to medium. The flavors are more like what Brian described, perhaps citrusy and floral, almost perfumey at times, but never drowned out by the body. Still, sticks can vary.

Ace,
I’m not sure. I didn’t read Brian’s review before doing my own, paired with several others didn’t think it was overly full bodied.

I can;t think of anything that particular day that would have influenced the body. A few hours before smoking the Edge I had an Oliva Serie O which seemed normal to me.

Looking back to Brian’s review, it appears I didn’t get nearly the variety of flavors that he did. Had the Serie O I smoked earlier on tasted different I would chalk it up to something being up with me but since it was fine, I’m not sure what to think.

I have one more left that I’ll smoke to see if things match up better with everyone elses experiences.
