I frequent a local cigar shop and discovered the Rocky Patel Edge Lite. About $6 per stick. I really like this cigar, but it is pricey for me to use on a 3-cigar a day basis.

Any suggestions as to one of the popular on-line cigar retailers who might have a wee bit better price on singles/box?

Thanks in advance

From what I understand, the Rocky Patel Connecticut is very similar (maybe just a re-branded version of the Edge Lite) that is available from Cigars International for slightly less. Works out to $3-$4 per stick before shipping and tax. I haven't tried it but a bunch of people who brought samples home from Cigar Fest told me they like it a lot.

I recall that there are some Edge Seconds available through one of the catalogs...maybe corona cigars, maybe 2 guys smoke shop - both of whom have web sites. As seconds, they have small cosmetic blemishes, but nothing wrong internally. I don't know if they have the "Lite" kind, but it's worth checking out.

Also, I'm not sure if the RP COnnecticut is the same as the Edge Lite. I could be wrong on this, but I've had both and found the Edge Lite to be better and more flavorful than the Connecticut. (And I'm usually a fan of milder, Connectitcut cigars.)

Just checked it out. Corona Cigar does have the Edge Seconds. They also have Davidoff Seconds which, judging by the price, are an incredible steal. If you're not familiar with the Davidoff brand, they're almost always perfectly constructed, but fairly mild-bodied. I think they work out to just under three bucks a stick. The Edge Seconds I think work out to just abotu two dollars a stick.

Gents,

Thanks for your prompt and informed replies. I will check the sites and cigars you all mentioned and hopefully enjoy a good cigar for al little less than the Rocky Patel Edge Lite. RP certainly are proud of this cigar if price is any indication. It is a great cigar though.

Again, thanks for the information
