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

TRINIDAD ROBUSTO EXTRA

Originally introduced in 2004, the vitola was available for the next eight years before taking an early retirement. However, this relatively brief appearance proved ample time to leave a lasting impression on those cigar enthusiasts who had discovered this remarkable cigar.

Some twenty years later In 2024, in celebration of the 55th anniversary of the Trinidad brand, Habanos S.A. reintroduced the vitola, offering devotees the opportunity to enjoy it once again as part of a three-day Habanos World Days festival held in London.

The Robusto Extra is medium bodied and shares all the classic, accessible and aromatic charm of its predecessor. With the measurements of a Doble , 6 1/8” (155 mm) x 50 ring gauge, but with the addition of a pigtail cap which is a signature of the Trinidad brand, this cigar is made entirely by hand with select leaves from the renown Vuelta Abajo zone.

Initially reintroduced in presentation gift boxes containing 3 cigars, the Trinidad Robusto Extra is now available in lacquered boxes of 12.

This style of presentation moves the brand away for the first time from the traditional semi-boîte nature boxes for which the brand has become renowned. The cigars in the new 12 box remain dressed with three bands, including one celebrating the brand’s 55 anniversary.



Tasting Notes

A perfect burn and outstanding aroma. Mainly woody with a honeyed sweetness, but earth, coffee, spices and some fruit can also be clearly identified. A great cigar for any occasion.
