I’ve only had one that I picked up by mistake thinking it was an Edge Maduro. I loved the draw and the burn, they were perfect. The body was medium with some great sweet and woody flavors. I think you just smoked a dud. This is a fine cigar that deserves praise for it’s construction and distinctive flavor and richness.

good review …. as for me i have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this one (besides the end) and i agree with bryan , theres definately something citrussy in there … that particular flavor started kind of like rose pedals and went to orange …..

the strength was fine for me , strong , but i like it that way ….. got really dark and full at times , went very well with a glass of yuengling’s black and tan ……..I’ll Tell you that …

I’ve had this cigar twice now. The first time, I didn’t think too much of it. But I had just smoked an Oliva Serie V Maduro and the draw from it was so smooth that when I had this edge, I felt like I was choking. It felt harsh. I just tried this cigar again having had bought two of them when I had never tried them before (stupid I know). The cigar was very agreeable. It had a smooth draw and perfect burn down to the end. It lasted so long that I finally put it down though I could have puffed away maybe another twenty minutes. I just didn’t have anything left in me. I would definitely consider giving this cigar another try. It had everything that I would need out of a good maduro and enough of what I want, that it was a very enjoyable smoke. Plus, you really can’t beat the price! Rocky Patel fans, as I am for the most part, should really enjoy this cigar. Just not after an Oliva V Maduro. That thing was laced with heroin I think.

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.
