Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid (6.13" x 52)

The Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid is a Medium Pyramid measuring 6.13 × 52 from Meerapfel’s Ernest line. It features a Cameroon wrapper, while the binder and filler remain undisclosed. The Ernest Pyramid is documented in a 25-cigar format and is produced as part of the limited Ernest Master Blend range.

Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid Specifications

African Cameroon Wrapper Composition

The Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid uses Cameroon leaf as its documented wrapper component. Meerapfel describes its cigars as being wrapped in Cameroon leaf, while the Ernest product information does not disclose the binder or filler blend.

The wrapper therefore provides the clearest verified tobacco identity for this cigar. The inner blend remains deliberately undisclosed, so the binder and filler should not be assigned to a specific country or tobacco type. Meerapfel’s Genuine Cameroon tobacco is grown in Cameroon, further establishing the origin of the brand’s Cameroon leaf supply.

For comparison by wrapper, TRP’s Cameroon cigar collection provides other cigars using this tobacco category.

Pyramid Format at 6.13 × 52

The Ernest Pyramid measures 6.13 inches by 52 ring gauge. Industry listings identify the Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid as a Pyramid measuring 6 1/8 × 52, which corresponds closely to TRP’s 6.13-inch store naming.

A 52 ring gauge is approximately 0.82 inches in diameter. Compared with the Ernest Robusto at 4.88 × 50 and the Ernest Lonsdale at 6.75 × 43, the Pyramid occupies a broader, tapered format within the Ernest range. TRP lists the Ernest Robusto and Lonsdale separately in its Meerapfel catalogue.

The Pyramid cigar collection can be used to compare broader shaped formats, although the Pyramid's exact tapered construction remains specific to this vitola.

Medium Strength and Documented Ernest Profile

The Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid is listed as Medium strength. Strength is distinct from body, flavor and aroma, and the available authoritative product information does not provide a sufficiently specific body classification for this particular Pyramid.

The Ernest Pyramid's published product information describes the blend as undisclosed rather than providing a manufacturer-confirmed tasting progression. The previously supplied cedar, toasted nuts, baking spice, cream and sweet-tobacco notes are therefore excluded from this page because they were not verified specifically for the Ernest Pyramid.

This distinction is important when comparing Ernest sizes: the verified information establishes the strength and format, but does not justify presenting retailer-derived tasting notes as manufacturer-documented characteristics.

Ernest Master Blend and Production

Meerapfel introduced Ernest as its third Master Blend in 2023. The original launch included the Corona Gorda, Robusto, Lonsdale and Double Robusto formats, while later product listings document the Ernest Pyramid as a 6 1/8 × 52 size.

The Ernest Pyramid is listed in 25-cigar packaging, and official tobacco-price documentation identifies the product as a 25-count Ernest Pyramid. Product listings also identify the size as 6 1/8 × 52.

The specific factory is not publicly disclosed in the sources reviewed. The manufacturing location should therefore remain undisclosed rather than being assigned to the Dominican Republic or another country without direct confirmation.

Medium Pyramid Buying Context

The Medium strength and 6.13 × 52 Pyramid format make this a broader shaped option within the Ernest range. Its dimensions place it between the line's shorter Robusto and longer, slimmer Lonsdale in terms of overall proportions.

For pairing, medium-roast coffee, aged rum or a lighter bourbon can be considered alongside a Medium cigar. These are general pairing suggestions rather than manufacturer-prescribed combinations.

A Pyramid should be stored in a properly maintained humidor away from large temperature and humidity changes. TRP also offers cigar humidors for long-term cigar storage.

Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid FAQs

What size is the Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid?

The Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid measures 6.13 × 52 in TRP’s store naming. Industry listings give the same cigar as 6 1/8 × 52, making the small numerical difference a rounding or naming convention rather than evidence of a different size.

Is the Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid a Corona Gorda?

No. The Ernest Pyramid is a separate Pyramid vitola measuring approximately 6 1/8 × 52. The Ernest Corona Gorda is separately documented at 5 1/2 × 46, so the 5.5 × 46 specifications should not be transferred to the Pyramid.

The Ernest Pyramid is listed as Medium strength. TRP's Meerapfel collection also classifies its listed Meerapfel cigars under the Medium strength category, while the Pyramid's individual product information identifies the same strength.

What wrapper does the Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid use?

The cigar uses a Cameroon wrapper. Meerapfel's official site describes its cigars as wrapped in legendary Cameroon leaf, while TRP's Meerapfel products use the African Cameroon store taxonomy. The binder and filler remain undisclosed.

How is the Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid packaged?

The Ernest Pyramid is documented in 25-cigar packaging. Official tobacco-price documentation identifies the Ernest Pyramid as a 25-count product, while current retailer listings also show single and 25-count purchasing formats.

Where is the Meerapfel Ernest Pyramid manufactured?

The specific country and factory are not disclosed by the manufacturer in the authoritative information reviewed. Because the production facility is treated as confidential, the Pyramid should not be assigned to a specific country or factory based only on retailer assumptions.
