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

Trinidad, as a Habano brand, dates back to 1969 but for many years, like Cohiba, it was made only for 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 one size of Trinidad: Fundadores. In 2003 three more sizes, the Reyes, the Coloniales and the Robusto Extra, were added to the range. At the same time Trinidad's livery and its cigar band were updated to recognise the prestige that the brand commanded. Most recently, in 2009, the Trinidad Robusto T was introduced to complement the brand's range. 

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 zone was developed.

Tasting Notes

A real Cuban classic, perfect draw and great combustion. Complex flavours of nuts, espresso coffee and hints of vanilla, leaving the occasional aftertaste of cinnamon. This cigar is truly a masterpiece, not to be beaten.

87 / 100

"...A slim smoke with a veiny wrapper and tight pigtail cap. It draws well, though the burn is a bit uneven. Initial flintiness dissipates to show notes of nutmeg, ground pepper and a saccharine sweetness..."

Great cigar, enjoyable smoke. Lasted 1 hour 40 mins right to the butt. Started just above medium strength and moderate creaminess. Then developed to be more spicy and savoury about half way and medium to full profile. Typical Cuban taste. The cigar ash dropped off after a few cm and was uneven burning and needed relighting multiple times, however draw was good after a v cut. Enjoyable cigar whilst watching the Formula 1 on a Sunday. However its not worth the current 53 quid price tag, there are other better and cheaper Cubans.

Bought 2 after seeing excellant reviews on youtube from the Shahakians (Davidoff of London). WHAT an utter disappointment this was. Draw was tight, burn was uneven and kept going out. Got 1 left, maybe it will be better but after reading fellow smokers here they have had same issues so not holding my breath......

Terrible. Bought this in the summer just got round to smoking it and it was plugged absolutely useless and burned horribly and uneven. Waste of Money

This cigar had been on my radar for some time now. After deciding to buy one, I saved it in my humidor for a special occasion. Today was my 10 year anniversary returning from Afghanistan, so I thought the occasion fit the cigar. However, after 20 mins of puffing on a very tight draw, minimal smoke output and a terrible experience, I decided to put it out and light up a budget daily smoke. Don’t waste your money - a decent £6 new world robusto is far better

Having seen the reviews of this, I purchased a couple of these on my last trip to Cgars St James. I had high hopes upon lighting, seemed great. After the initial burn and taste it was like sucking golf ball through a hose! From what I’d read, the Fundadores were supposed to be the creme de la creme! I was found wanting. Yes, 40rg you’d expect a resistant draw but I gave up after 3 relights. I’ll let it grow in the garden!
