Trinidad Topes

The Trinidad Topes is a distinguished Cuban cigar from the prestigious Trinidad brand, now part of the regular production line after debuting as a limited-edition. 
This vitola is designed for cigar aficionados seeking a robust, luxurious smoke with exceptional craftsmanship.

Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes

The Trinidad Topes delivers a richly layered Cuban cigar experience:

• Cold draw / Aroma: Notes of chocolate, nuts, bread/yeast and a hint of smoky spice. During smoke: The flavours evolve into toasted nuts, coffee bean, oak, and saltiness in the second third.

• Finish: A dash of citrus or pepper may emerge toward the end, giving it a refined yet dynamic finish.

• Session length: A robust stick designed for approximately 60 minutes smoking time.

Why the Trinidad Topes Stands Out

• Prestige of the brand: Trinidad is a high-end Cuban brand historically used for diplomatic gifts and now respected by cigar lovers worldwide.

• Unique size and format: With the large 56 ring gauge, Topes offers a fuller draw and richer flavour than many standard Cuban robustos.

• High ratings: It boasts favourable reviews from the cigar community and major publications.

• Versatility: While premium, it remains approachable for smokers who enjoy depth and luxury without going into ultra-full strength territory.

Storage & Smoking Tips

• Store in a well-conditioned humidor (approx. 65-70% RH, ~18-20 °C) to maintain wrapper oils and optimal draw.

• Light slowly; the 56 ring gauge means a slower burn if puffed too frequently.

• Pair with a quality drink: aged rum, single-malt whisky, or a smooth coffee dessert — the flavour profile (nuts, cocoa, cedar) complements these.

• Let the cigar rest in your humidor for some time if freshly acquired — many enthusiasts feel the Topes improves subtly with a bit of aging.
