This morning, I decided to enjoy my coffee in the back yard with my dogs and a cigar. Since there was a fiver of Rocky Patel Edge Missile Corojos in my cooler that have been resting for a month or so, and I decided it was time to try one....

After clipping the cigar, I toasted the foot until it glowed. Then I took my first draw and was greeted with a mild earthiness that was very pleasant. The earthiness was the predominant flavor, and was just touched with a hint of sweetness. Just touched. So far I was impressed by the subtlety of the stick.

The second third built upon the first, with the creamy sweetness increasing, and just a tiny bit of spice swirling around my tongue. There was something more than the earthiness I mentioned earlier but I can't put a better name to it. All I can say is that I really liked it.

The final third was better yet, and I wish I could have smoked this cigar beyond the nub. I don't have words to describe the subtle complexity of the Edge Missile corojo, and I don't yet have the palate to distinguish everything I was getting from the cigar. I cannot convey, in words, how good this Rocky Patel smoked.

I'm glad I have four more, and now I'm considering a box.
