The Edge Finds a New Band

Tuesday, August 22 2006

No, I'm not talking about the U2 guitarist. I'm talking about "The Edge" by Rocky Patel cigars. This cigar, which debuted in 2004 sans bands to give the cigar a rustic, old Cuban-style appearance, will now wear a collar at the foot. Similarly, The Edge Light cigars will also sport the new bands.

According to my source, the decision to add the band was in part because some retailers were actually replacing their sold-out Edge stock with cheap bundle imitations of the naked cigars. How low can you go, right?

The banded Edge cigars are slated to arrive at the end of this month or early September. The boxes will remain unchanged.
