TRINIDAD

Trinidad is named after the beautiful 16th Century city of La Santísima Trinidad (The Holy Trinity), listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, which is situated on Cuba’s south coast.

Trinidad, as a Havana brand, dates back to 1969 but for many years, like Cohiba, it was made only as gifts to foreign diplomats. Not until 1998 was it released for general sale and then only in small quantities.

At the start there was only the one size of  Fundadores before more were added through the years (In 2003 three more sizes: Reyes, Coloniales and Robusto Extra and then in 2009 the Robusto T - In 2011 Habanos S.A. announced the withdrawal of Robusto Extras and Robusto Ts from regular production). In 2009 Trinidad’s livery and its cigar band were updated to recognise the prestige that the brand commanded. 

For several years Trinidad was made at El Laguito, the Cohiba factory, where its uniquely fragrant and aromatic, medium flavoured blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region was developed.

By the end of 2004 demand for Trinidad had outstripped the production capacity at El Laguito and it was decided that the manufacture of all the brand’s sizes should be transferred to Pinar del Rio City. It is here that Trinidad is made today close to the famous Vuelta Abajo plantations.

All sizes are ‘Tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally hand made vitolas

COLONIALES

A useful slightly extra girth petit corona, which allows you access to Trinidad's unique flavour in a size that can be smoked in just 30 minutes or so. Added to the range in 2003.

Tasting Notes

A rich roasted macademia and leathery coffee flavours mixed with a very creamy draw. An extremely well crafted cigar with a perfect burn and draw. Don't hesitate, buy as many as you can!

----

92 / 100

"Covered in an attractive colorado wrapper and topped with a pigtail, this cigar has a slightly firm draw. Toasty, floral notes transition to hints of chocolate, spice and a very well-pronounced note of candied pecan..."

The cigar looks amazing, with its beautiful dark wrapper, oily sheen and a Trinidad gold banding which is always nice on the eyes! Draw was a little difficult as tobacco was fairly tightly packed, with medium amount of smoke, certainly not as much (with a not as easy draw) as the Robusto T or even the Reyes. Still, the taste was more spicey than the Robusto (though less creamy), and more deep richer than the Reyes. Roasted taste intensified during the second third of the cigar, with hints of sweetness found. Ash has started off uneven, but did level off after an inch, with the ash lasting around1 1/2 inches until falling. Dark grey ash, again not as smooth as the Montecristo No. 2, but smoother than the Robusto T and Reyes, with white star-like nodules present (similar to the Reyes). Apart from the size, which is modest, though not one I would prefer, the taste and look of the cigar was first class. I am very harsh when I score any cigar (remember 4-5 is excellent, 3 is middle of the road, with 1-2 as not so good), but 4/5 is very good. Not bad price for a Cuban Trinidad, medium sized stick packed with roasted spicy, leather and coffee flavours with hint of sweetness.

Good construction; immediately pleasing to eyes, nose and fingers. No hassle when lighting. After first couple of draws, body and flavour become apparent; warm, full; slightly spicy, leather and coffee with a slight pepper... through hearty and cheering leather, cocoa and pepper to woody, still creamy, peppery and gentle leather flavours. I smoked this cigar with a spiced rum; it complimented the softer elements of the flavour. I've only a young palate, so I hope to enjoy this cigar in a few years time, after a little more practice. To conclude: Yes. Ever-so-slightly-cheaper than other equivalent, recommended, big-name smokes, without being inferior. Ferg

smokes - really first class. Even more so considering they are young sicks. By now or regret for ever. Consistent, good draw, med/full flavour and strength, great blend = no bitterness. written by Asgard
