Meerapfel Meir Double Robusto (5.75" x 52)

The Meerapfel Meir Double Robusto is a Dominican Republic-made, Medium Double Robusto measuring 5.75 × 52 from Meerapfel's Meir line. It uses a genuine Cameroon wrapper, while the binder and filler remain undisclosed. The format was part of the Meir Master Blend's original 2022 release and is presented in a 10-cigar casket format.

African Cameroon Wrapper and Meir Blend

The Meir Double Robusto uses a genuine African Cameroon wrapper, the principal tobacco component publicly identified for the Meerapfel Master Blends. The Meerapfel Meir blend keeps its binder and filler composition undisclosed, so no specific countries or tobacco types should be assigned to those components.

The wrapper therefore provides the clearest verified origin point for the blend, while the rest of the recipe remains proprietary. Meerapfel's published information emphasizes its long association with Cameroon tobacco, but does not publish the complete Meir binder-and-filler recipe.

Double Robusto at 5.75 × 52

The Double Robusto format measures 5.75 inches long with a 52 ring gauge. The dimensions are documented in Meerapfel's original 2022 launch material and by subsequent industry listings for the Meir Master Blend.

A 52 ring gauge is approximately 0.82 inches in diameter. Within the Meir line, this wider Double Robusto is distinct from the 4.875 × 50 Robusto, 6.125 × 52 Pyramid, 7 × 47 Churchill, 5.5 × 46 Corona Gorda and 6.75 × 43 Lonsdale.

The Meir format range can be compared through TRP's Meerapfel cigar collection.

Medium Strength and Verified Profile

The Meir Double Robusto is classified as Medium strength. That classification is documented for the Meir Master Blend and matches the product's published specifications.

The supplied TRP content lists cedar, toasted nuts, baking spice, cream, and sweet tobacco, but the manufacturer or qualifying S2–S3 sources used for this page do not support those notes. They have therefore been excluded rather than presented as verified tasting characteristics.

The same distinction applies to the supplied description's reference to a “medium-bodied” profile. Strength and body are separate attributes, and a separately verified body classification was not established for this product.

Dominican Republic Manufacture and Meir Heritage

The Meir Double Robusto is produced in the Dominican Republic, while the specific factory is not publicly identified. Cigar Aficionado reported that Meerapfel's cigars were rolled in the Dominican Republic and that the company did not disclose the production facility.

The Meir Master Blend was introduced in 2022 as Meerapfel's second Master Blend and was named for Meir Meerapfel, who established the family's cigar factory in Untergrombach, Germany, in 1876. The original launch included the Double Robusto alongside the Robusto, Churchill and Pyramid formats.

Meerapfel's production model is deliberately limited. The company stated that each Meerapfel vitola is limited to 613 chests per year, with the Double Robusto presented separately from the 25-count formats.

Medium Strength in the Meir Double Robusto Format

The Meir Double Robusto combines the line's Medium classification with a 5.75 × 52 format. That makes its dimensions the clearest practical distinction from the smaller Meir Robusto and the longer, slimmer Meir Churchill and Lonsdale.

Suggested pairings include aged rum, espresso or dark-roast coffee. These are general pairing suggestions rather than manufacturer-documented flavor matches.

Store the cigar in a properly maintained humidor away from significant temperature and humidity fluctuations. A dedicated humidor is appropriate for preserving cigars between smoking sessions.

TRP Cigars and the Meerapfel Meir Collection

TRP Cigars was founded in 2005 and operates a physical cigar lounge in Cedarhurst, New York, alongside its online US retail operation. Its catalogue allows buyers to navigate cigars by attributes including strength, shape, wrapper and brand, making it possible to compare the Meir Double Robusto with other products using the same categories.

For US orders, TRP states that standard shipping is free on orders over $99. Its published shipping information also states that orders are typically processed within one business day, with standard shipping generally taking 3–5 business days and expedited shipping 1–3 business days.

Because the Double Robusto is a higher-value format, TRP's stated signature requirement for orders over $500 is also relevant when purchasing larger quantities. TRP's shipping policy provides the current shipping terms.

Meerapfel Meir Double Robusto FAQs

Is the Meerapfel Meir Double Robusto 5.75 × 52?

Yes. The Meir Double Robusto measures 5.75 inches by 52 ring gauge. The 4.88 × 50 specification supplied in the TRP commerce data corresponds to the separate Meerapfel Meir Robusto and should not be used for the Double Robusto.

What strength is the Meir Double Robusto?

The Meir Double Robusto is Medium strength. The original Meir Master Blend announcement identifies the line and its Double Robusto format, while current specialist listings also classify the size as Medium.

What wrapper does the Meir Double Robusto use?

The cigar uses a genuine African Cameroon wrapper. Meerapfel publicly identified Cameroon as the wrapper leaf while keeping the remaining Meir blend details undisclosed.

Is the Meir Double Robusto made in the Dominican Republic?

Yes. Industry reporting identifies the Dominican Republic as the manufacturing country, but the particular factory has not been disclosed publicly. The Meerapfel family and Meir line history should not be confused with the country where the finished cigars are manufactured.

How is the Meir Double Robusto packaged?

The original Meir launch presented the Double Robusto in a 10-cigar casket, distinct from the 25-count wooden chests used for the Robusto, Churchill and Pyramid sizes. The Meerapfel company also limits each vitola to 613 chests annually.

Does the Meir Double Robusto have verified cedar and baking-spice tasting notes?

Those notes appear in the supplied store content, but they are not treated as verified here because the available manufacturer and qualifying industry sources do not establish that exact tasting-note list. The verified product data supports Medium strength and an African Cameroon wrapper.
