The Edge 20th Anniversary Sixty

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Edge 20th Anniversary Sixty opens with a bold medium-full body, delivering a rich surge of dark chocolate, espresso roast, and sweet cedar over a base of leather, roasted nuts, and earthy spice. The retrohale adds black pepper, cinnamon, and a hint of dried fig, bringing both heat and subtle fruit depth to the profile. By the second third, the flavors broaden into molasses, toasted walnut, and dark caramel, while the pepper mellows into a smooth, lingering undertone. A gentle maple sweetness emerges, tying the cocoa, wood, and spice into a cohesive mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar condenses into bittersweet cocoa, charred oak, clove, and a trace of smoky espresso, finishing long, warm, and complex with resonant spice.

Construction and Draw
The Sixty vitola is expertly rolled with a dark, oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Honduran binder and a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. The seams are tight, the triple cap is precise, and the pack is firm yet responsive. Cold draw reveals cedar, cocoa husk, and a touch of raisin. Upon lighting, the draw is ideal—slight resistance producing dense, creamy smoke with a velvety texture. The burn line stays sharp with minimal waviness, and the ash forms firm, medium-gray stacks that cling well past the inch mark. Combustion is steady and cool despite the large ring gauge, rewarding slow, deliberate draws.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with GlenDronach 18 Year Allardice or Zacapa XO Rum; both complement the cigar’s chocolate, spice, and cedar while enhancing its underlying sweetness and rounding the pepper on the retrohale.

Aging Potential
Aging potential is strong: 5–8 years will integrate the spice, cocoa, and cedar into a seamless, velvety profile while refining the pepper into a polished undertone.
Final Assessment
A grand, flavor-saturated anniversary edition that delivers the bold richness and flawless construction worthy of The Edge legacy in an impressive large-ring format.
