Trinidad Topes
Gros robusto (topes)
A magnificent colorado module wrapped in a fine, oily cape that speaks of elegance and richness.
Cold draw: Earthy notes of mushroom and wood.
Tasting after lighting:
The first third delivers pleasant, gentle smoke with spicy and woody notes. The pace is steady, though the cigar lacks some depth at this stage.
The second third sees a controlled rise in strength and a bit more roundness. Combustion remains good, and the smoke thickens with spices and wood, accented by nice touches of dried fruit.
The final third brings increased body but little aromatic evolution. Combustion deteriorates, leading to a somewhat muddled finish.
Conclusion from the enthusiast:
A good cigar, slightly penalized this year by a muddled finale.
