Rocky Patel The Edge Candela

The Rocky Patel The Edge Candela is a cigar for those who want something different, fun, and delicious, all at the same time. This line is of Honduran origin, expertly handmade at the El Paraiso Factory in Danlí. Across the available vitolas, the line maintains a consistent mild-to-medium strength profile. Although it is a staple of the ever-growing Rocky Patel portfolio, it remains one of the handful of authentic Candela cigars currently available on today's market. During the cigar boom, Candela wrappers seemed a bit more plentiful, but the funky green leaf has since been phased out, so to speak. This is due not only to the lack of the Candela's physical appeal to some smokers but because the ultra-mild nature of the leaf made it tough to blend anything flavorful without ending up with a bitter, unbalanced mess. However, in recent years, certain manufacturers have ventured outside their comfort zone and blended some very successful cigars using this odd wrapper leaf. Perhaps Rocky noticed this and realized he could elevate the category; in this case, he extended what is considered to be his most successful line of all time, The Edge, to include his first-ever Candela. The filler blend, which utilizes a rich mix of Honduran and Nicaraguan long-fillers, is combined with a Nicaraguan binder and a unique Habano-seed Candela wrapper to create an overall package that is quite impressive.

The more pale, almost olive-colored wrapper leaf gives it a rustic appeal, and combined with the simple Edge foot band, the presentation is gorgeous. Wonderfully constructed and offering an easy draw, The Edge Candela oozes thick white smoke that dances around on the palate, satisfying more and more with each puff. The initial flavor is a mild tobacco flavor, much like a basic Connecticut-wrapped cigar. Hints of cedar and hay become apparent, eventually turning into a creamy green tea-infused flavor party. Mild-to-medium and smooth smoking, The Edge Candela holds nothing back taste-wise. Subtle complexities and creamy smoothness make this stick a welcomed addition to the famous Edge lineup. Any of the Edge cigars make good beginner sticks, but this one is ideal for those just getting their feet wet in the wonderful world of cigars. Mild, flavorful, and immensely pleasant, The Edge Candela is oddly satisfying even to experienced connoisseurs. To date, the line offers a consistent, authentic experience across its various formats. It pairs well with tea, light beer, and white wine, and can be compared to such other Candela masterpieces as Baccarat The Game Candela and Illusione Candela. For something different, a conversation starter, or just a mild-to-medium strength smoke to relax with, the Rocky Patel The Edge Candela is definitely a cigar to reach for.
