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

VIGIA - Rated #14 in Cigar Aficionado 2016!

Vigía is named for the watchtowers in the Cuban city of Trinidad erected to observe the sugarcane fields. This fragrant and approachable cigar is a unique size within the Habanos portfolio which was introduced in 2014.

The earthy tones throughout keep this smoke well balanced out from start to finish, truffle notes start this cigar off which slowly develops into a nutty finish.

"Topped with a pigtail cap, this attractive robusto is spicy from the start with initial impressions of wasabi and ginger. Some tangy cedar and fruit emerge before a finish hinting of cinnamon. The draw is a bit thin, the burn wavy..."
