Storage Instructions
For long term preservation of TRINIDAD LA TROVA LCDH (12) store the cigars in a well maintained humidor. Aim for a relative humidity between 68% and 72% and a temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC and 21ºC). A cedar lined humidor will help stabilize humidity and support proper aging. Keep the cigars in their original box inside the humidor when possible to maintain a consistent microclimate and to protect the wrapper. Do not overcrowd the humidor, and position a reliable hygrometer where it can be read easily. Avoid direct sunlight, rapid temperature changes, and refrigeration. For travel, use a small travel humidor or a sealed container with a quality humidity pack to prevent drying or over humidification during transit.
Care Tips
Handle TRINIDAD LA TROVA LCDH (12) with a gentle touch, especially around the cap and wrapper, to avoid nicks and cracks. Use a sharp guillotine or straight cutter and make a clean cut to preserve the cigar’s draw. After purchase allow the cigars to acclimate in your humidor for at least 7 to 14 days before smoking, and after long shipments let them rest for up to two weeks. This Cuban blend responds well to modest aging, improving in complexity over six months to a few years, and many enthusiasts enjoy additional aging up to three to five years depending on personal taste. When lighting, toast the foot slowly and draw evenly to avoid overheating the wrapper. Between smokes return any unused cigars to your humidor promptly to maintain humidity stability. Regularly check your humidor and adjust as needed to keep TRINIDAD LA TROVA LCDH (12) in peak condition for every smoke.
Reviews and Ratings
There are few formal reviews that focus specifically on this La Trova LCDH 12 count release. Major magazines such as Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel have covered Trinidad releases more broadly, and where reviewers and experienced hobbyists have sampled La Trova offerings they note a refined medium bodied profile with smooth draw and consistent construction. Common tasting notes mentioned by aficionados include cedar, espresso, dark chocolate and a creamy finish. In the absence of a widely published score for this exact Casa del Habano edition, consider the general positive feedback for La Trova and for Trinidad LCDH exclusives when gauging expectations.
History and Heritage
Trinidad is a storied Cuban marca known for elegant and aromatic cigars that favor balance and finesse. The La Trova name evokes a convivial, music filled tradition and fits the line’s approachable yet refined character. This LCDH designation indicates a selection made for Casa del Habano boutiques, often presented in a collector friendly 12 count box. Like other Trinidad releases, La Trova LCDH is crafted in Cuba by experienced torcedores using well aged long filler tobaccos and carefully selected wrappers, producing a smoke that appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate classic Cuban craftsmanship and a polished, consistent smoking experience.
Tasting Notes
TRINIDAD LA TROVA LCDH (12) unveils a refined, medium-bodied character that balances Cuban elegance with a quietly powerful presence. The first draws deliver warm cedar and toasted almond, followed by rich dark cocoa and a velvet leather core that develops into a gentle black pepper spice on the retrohale. Mid-smoke reveals a honeyed sweetness and subtle floral lift, while underlying mineral and espresso-like notes give the smoke depth and complexity. Aromas of old cedar, baker’s cocoa and a faint tobacco barn scent linger through a long, bittersweet finish.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged añejo rum (12–15 years), its caramel and oak tones mirror the cigar’s cocoa and cedar, while a touch of molasses highlights the sweet-spicy interplay. Single-origin espresso (Sumatra or an Italian roast), the coffee’s intense roast and crema echo the cigar’s espresso and cocoa notes and cleanse the palate between draws. 70–85% dark chocolate or an aged Manchego, bittersweet chocolate amplifies the cigar’s cocoa and leather layers, while a nutty, firm cheese offers a savory counterpoint that enhances creaminess.
