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.
