Trinidad Topes Cigar (Box of 12)

Packaging : Box of 12 cigars

Measuring 4 7/8″ x 56 ring gauge, the Topes is well known to cigar enthusiasts around the world as it was first showcased as a limited edition in 2016. The cigar quickly disappeared from the shelves, such was its popularity at the time. Therefore, the news of its return was met with great excitement, especially as this time, as opposed to being a Limited Edition, it would join the standard Trinidad range.

Trinidad is named after the beautiful 16th century city of La Santisima Trinidad (The Holy Trinity), listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, located on the southern coast of Cuba.

Trinidad, as a Habano brand, dates back to 1969, but for many years, like Cohiba, it was only made for gifts for foreign diplomats. It wasn’t until 1998 that it was released for general sale, and then only in small quantities.

In the beginning, there was only one size of Trinidad: Fundadores. In 2003, three more sizes were added, Reyes, Coloniales and Robusto Extra. At the same time, Trinidad’s livery and its cigar band were updated to recognize the prestige of the brand. Most recently, in 2009, Trinidad Robusto T was introduced to complement the brand’s range.

For several years, Trinidad was made at El Laguito, the Cohiba factory where its uniquely fragrant and aromatic, medium-bodied blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone was developed.
