Rocky Patel The Edge Howitzer Maduro Cigar – Box of 10

The Rocky Patel The Edge Howitzer Maduro measures 7 inches in length with a 70-ring gauge, presented in a Gordo vitola. Its dark, oily Maduro wrapper encases a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos. The cigar produces dominant flavors of dark chocolate and espresso, accompanied by secondary notes of black pepper and earth.

Construction and Performance

This 7x70 Rocky Patel The Edge Howitzer Maduro maintains a firm draw with even combustion across its densely packed filler leaves. The thick 70-ring format generates substantial smoke output, extending the smoking duration. A tight ash formation indicates thorough leaf fermentation and rolling precision.

Flavor Progression

• Dark cocoa powder essence throughout combustion
• Roasted coffee bean characteristics in initial third
• Black pepper spice intensifies in final third
• Subtle sweetness from Maduro wrapper combustion

Pairing Recommendations

The Rocky Patel The Edge Howitzer Maduro complements aged spirits effectively. Its full-bodied profile matches well with:

• Barrel-proof bourbons (58-63% ABV)
• Añejo tequila aged 12+ months
• French press coffee brewed with dark roast beans

Box purchases contain 10 cigars with cellophane sleeves. Storage requires 65-68% humidity maintenance for optimal combustion performance. The 70-ring format requires larger-cutter accessories for proper cap removal.
