Many people love to have their favorite nightcap with a flavorful cigar. A fine cigar can be as pleasurable as a fine wine. Mostly, the occasion for a fine cigar is one that evokes reward, victory or celebration even the love of a woman.

"This is an art form. This is a culture. We do not have to have a cigar, we are not addicted to them, we enjoy them as much as we enjoy a fine glass of wine," said Rocky Patel, owner of the brand Edge Lite Cigars.

Cigar lovers are often used to the finer things in life. This is particularly true when it comes to their choice of cigars. When people buy cigars, they expect a certain standard.

The Edge Cigars are one of the top selling cigars from Rocky Patel, a well- known maker of full-bodied cigars. "The Edge" is strong, so that beginners are discouraged from trying it. For that reason, "The Edge Lite", a milder and medium strength version was developed.

The Edge Lite Cigars, made in Honduras, makes use of a well-balanced blend of 5-years-aged Nicaraguan and Honduran Ligero long filler tobaccos expertly enrobed in a fine CT Shade Wrapper.

Edge Lite Cigars offer you a rich and creamy flavor with lengthy smoothness that is perfect for seasoned aficionados and new enthusiasts.

"We know that our quality-of wrapper, filler and binder-was the key to our product success. We deal with some of the biggest growers in the world. We combine the finest materials we can find," added Rocky Patel.

The Edge Lite Cigars by Rocky Patel are handsomely constructed cigars that boast a very smooth golden wrapper, which molds the Edge's full-bodied characteristic into a more subtle cigar. Like the Edge, the Edge Lite will now have bands on the foot of each cigar, which is uncommon in the cigar industry.

Likewise, the seamless Connecticut wrapper adds creaminess to the blend. The Edge Lite shade, grown beneath the natural cloud over Ecuador, creates a complex and consistent smoke, which is milder than other cigars on the market. Faultless and flawless, it produces a perfect burn all the way down to the last two inches.

There are things you look for to validate acceptance. One is from your consumers, when they look you in the eye and say we love your cigar, and a great rating on a consistent basis.

In the cigar industry, Rocky Patel belongs to the top five. He produces blends that are unique, ranging from mild to full-bodied, most of which have earned ratings of 90 or higher. "We are better off taking our time and releasing only the cigars when we feel they are ready and perfect," he added.

Cigar smokers are extra particular with flavor, body and aroma. Most, smoke to have fun and to celebrate. They enjoy cigar with great scotches, and excellent wines. They like good time, good food, playing golf or playing cards. They love to socialize with their finest cigars, and nurture relationships that go beyond cigar smoking.

We want to make sure we have fun while we make these cigars. We are trying to create unique options for the consumer to smoke and enjoy, too.

"When people buy our Edge Lite Cigars, they expect a superb quality. Our cigars are clean, elegant, flavorful, and balanced on the palate. We made the Edge Lite for cigar smokers who want the rich flavor and perfect balance in a medium-bodied smoke," Rocky Patel concluded.
