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

FUNDADORES

As its name - Founder - suggest, this was the pioneer size of Trinidad launched all on its own in 1998. Widely welcomed for its innovative medium bodied fragrant blend created by master blender Raul Valladares at El Laguito. 

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.

91 / 100

"Nutty first puffs of pecan, walnut and almond are resonant here, along with notes of cocoa powder, moka and baking spice. A boozy burst of rum emerges on the finish of this panetela, which draws and burns evenly..."

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!
