The Edge by Rocky Patel: Every Wrapper Compared (Corojo to Candela)
The Edge started as Rocky Patel's dare to himself: a full-strength cigar with no band, no cellophane and no marketing budget, sold in giant trays at a working man's price. It became one of the best-selling value lines in premium cigars - and then it multiplied. Six wrappers now share the Edge name, and they smoke very differently. Here's the field guide.
Edge Corojo - the original
Honduran corojo, full strength, all pepper and leather and dark earth. This is the one that built the legend, and it's still the benchmark for flavor-per-dollar. Start here if you like strong cigars.
Edge Maduro - the dark dessert
Costa Rican maduro brings bittersweet chocolate and espresso to the same engine. Slightly rounder than the Corojo, equally full.
Edge Habano - the critics' pick
The Habano edition earned a 94-point score - zesty, earthy and arguably the most complex of the family.
Edge Sumatra - the box-of-50 workhorse
Dark spice and natural sweetness, sold in 50-count boxes that make it one of the cheapest ways in America to smoke premium long-filler daily.
Edge Connecticut - the morning Edge
Golden, creamy and mild-to-medium. The one Edge you can hand to anybody.
Edge Candela - the green one
Grass-green candela wrapper, fresh and faintly sweet. A genuine curiosity that smokes better than it has any right to.
Anniversary editions
The box-pressed A-10 and 20th Anniversary celebrate the line's milestones in limited runs - worth grabbing when you see them.
Bottom line
- Full and peppery: Corojo or Habano
- Dark and sweet: Maduro or Sumatra
- Smooth and easy: Connecticut
- Something different: Candela
King Corona carries every Edge format, from singles to trays.
