Trinidad is one of Cuba’s most revered cigar brands, admired for its elegance, craftsmanship, and exclusivity. Originally created in 1969, Trinidad cigars were for many years produced only for Cuban diplomats, making them one of the rarest and most prestigious Habanos. Today, they are treasured worldwide for their refined medium-to-full bodied profile and exceptional balance.
History
The Trinidad brand takes its name from La Santísima Trinidad (“The Holy Trinity”), a beautiful 16th-century city in Cuba recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. First rolled at the famous El Laguito factory - the same home as Cohiba - Trinidad remained a diplomatic gift until its commercial release in 1998. The original production was limited to just one vitola, the Fundadores, before the line gradually expanded with celebrated additions such as the Coloniales and Vigía.
What to Expect from Trinidad Cigars
Trinidad cigars are known for their smooth yet complex character. Smokers can expect refined notes of cedar, roasted nuts, leather, and subtle floral sweetness, often accompanied by hints of spice. Medium-to-full in body but never harsh, Trinidad offers sophistication and depth that appeals to seasoned aficionados while remaining approachable for discerning newcomers.
