Trinidad Topes  MUP Oct 2019

This is now my third 2019 regular production Topes within a short frame of time (around two weeks) and I can tell you that after my superlative first one and mind-numbing average second one, this third was a 'return-to-form', shall we say.

The first one was spice, coffee and butter which took on elements of butter pastry, some savoury salt and slight gingerbread-type sweetness as it went along. It felt like I was smoking a rich butter croissant, it was all-quality and all-class. The second one was more wood, dark coffee, salt and thankfully a delicious and viscous buttered texture which redeemed the cigar for me. This third one had elements of both the first and second cigar, but more of the first, which made it above-average in quality in my thinking.

This third Topes had spice, milk coffee and a buttered texture from the beginning. As it smoked down it had elements of salt and buttered pastry, like a mix of a croissant crossed with brioche bread, at other times the cigar had stronger notes of wood and strong coffee. The flavours resonated on the palate for hours afterward, this was a cigar that was rich and required attention to smoke slower.

Perhaps the large punch in the back, courtesy of my Credo 3-in-1 Punch cutter and my different cigar-smoking technique for 'sipping' this large-ring gauge cigar from the back, meant that it smoked slower and felt richer to smoke. One thing I do know, these new 2019 Trinidad releases are reputable in keeping with the premium brand status of Trinidad. I've found the Topes, Media Luna and Esmeralda quite satisfying to smoke thus far in 2020.

Ventured to the dark side today. Glad I did - solid 94 point smoke.

My first Esmeralda. While it’s a tight draw and wet and very fresh this has some serious flavour. Very impressed so far.

Agreed 100%. Let slumber time in the humidor do its magic and hopefully everything comes together. Definite long term potential in these

46 had a wrapper incident. Nothing to worry about

Dat Mag 46 wrapper split during Virutal Herf returns! Wrapper split is really annoying when I review CCs.
