Storage Instructions
For TRINIDAD TOPES (12) store your cigars in a stable humidor to preserve their aroma and structure. Aim for relative humidity between 65% and 70% and a temperature between 68ºF and 72ºF (20ºC and 22ºC). A Spanish cedar lined humidor is ideal because it helps maintain humidity and imparts a subtle, complementary aroma. Keep the box of 12 inside the humidor if you prefer an extra layer of protection and to slow the aging process. Use a calibrated hygrometer and a reliable humidification device to avoid wide swings in humidity. Avoid placing the humidor in direct sunlight or near heat sources and keep it away from rooms with frequent temperature changes.
Care Tips
Handle TRINIDAD TOPES (12) gently to protect the delicate wrapper. Hold the cigar by the body and avoid pinching the cap. If the cigars are packed in individual cellophane, you can leave it on for travel and short term protection, or remove it if you want them to acclimate and age more evenly. After transport allow the cigars to rest in your humidor for 24 to 72 hours before lighting to let them reach stable humidity. These cigars respond well to short to medium term aging, and many enthusiasts find subtle complexity after six months to a few years in proper storage. Rotate stock periodically so older sticks are used first and check your humidor regularly for mold or over humidification. When preparing to smoke, cut with a sharp cutter and toast gently to preserve the wrapper and ensure an even burn for the best experience.
