Trinidad Topes Cigars (12)

Trinidad Topes Cigars (12) - The Trinidad Topes is a cigar that commands attention due to its substantial size and rich flavor profile. Classified as a Robusto Gordo, the Topes measures 125mm in length with a substantial 56 ring gauge, giving it a notable presence and making it one of the largest offerings in the Trinidad brand's lineup.

Initially, this cigar was released as part of the prestigious Edición Limitada series from Habanos, but its popularity has secured it a place in Trinidad's regular production. Known for its intricate flavor composition, the Trinidad Topes starts with a bouquet of chocolate and nutty aromas, which lead into a cold draw that’s characterized by bread-like and fruity notes with a subtle smoky spiciness.

Upon lighting, the cigar delivers a symphony of flavors where bread and nutty notes are predominant, gradually building up a medium strength that develops into a richer, medium-full profile in the second third. Here, additional layers of coffee, oak, and a unique saltiness emerge, complemented by a hint of citrus and a dash of pepper in the final section.

The Trinidad Topes is well-suited as a pre-dinner smoke or as a pairing with a fine scotch, offering about an hour of smoking time. This cigar is particularly celebrated for its construction quality, embodying the Trinidad trademark of a pigtail cap and a complex, rich flavor profile that includes cedar, leather, earth, cream, and a touch of sweetness.

It is a cigar that's highly regarded among aficionados and is often recommended for its ability to deliver a satisfying and luxurious smoking experience.
