You choose my stick, I smoke it with a mini review and pics.

Choices for tonight are:

1. CAIN Habano
2. JDN Antano Dark Corojo
3. Rocky Patel The Edge

Vote early and often !!!!!!!

It is getting colder here at nights so I will probably pair this with some Woodford Reserve bourbon (and maybe a hot black coffee)

    I am going with the Edge as well. JdN we all know it pretty good. The Edge is the best from RP IMHO but have their issues as well. I would like to see how it does as well. ROCKY!

    I'm going to say The Edge as well. I know how my JdN smoke. I've only had a couple The Edge cigars, so I would like to see someone else review.

    I always pick the underdog ;) But really, I pick sticks that I've not had...seems there might be a reason that I have not had them haha.

    Lol I go with what I would pick out of those...I'm not a rp fan at all even though the decade is a decent smoke. But for the money I can think of much better sticks. But it's always worth a shot since taste is opinion

    Ah, I was hoping mad. I had one, but dropped it going out the door to smoke and it exploded. I thought the hab tasted a little funky but I'd like to hear your take on it too.

    Mini review - RP The Edge Corojo -
    I have not been a huge fan of Rocky Patel but this stick is different. This is the second Edge that I smoked. The first was after about a week in the humidor,. This one was after about two months. Maybe that made a difference or maybe the environment was different.

    Pre-light lick was a little nice flavor. Well constructed stick. Cut and prelight draw had a distinct cocoa flavor. Very nice. Used a soft flame to light it up. Lots of nice white billowy smoke (I like that) and a good earthy flavor with still a hint of cocoa. Good draw - just the way I like it.

    First half continued a nice medium pleasurable taste. Cocoa is gone but a nice mix of flavor (I am not good at describing flavors) Love the huge amount of big billowy smoke. Sitting on the deck, I was visited by several deer and wild turkeys. No doubt adds to the experience.

    I had to set it down for 3 or 4 minutes and every time I came back it was like I never left it. Good burn throughout. One puff and same wonderful flavor. Last third intensified a bit and left a nice creamy taste. Smoke lasted 1 hour 40 minutes. Very nice experience. My rating is a solid 4 out of 5. Not sure if it makes my top ten but maybe. Overall a great evening.

    Thanks for voting and picking a good one !! Enjoy
