Trinidad Media Luna

HISTORY

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 one size of Trinidad: Fundadore. In 2003, three more sizes, the Reyes, the Coloniales and the Robusto Extra (later discontinued), were added to the range. At the same time, Trinidad’s livery and 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 of Trinidad are ‘Tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade vitolas.

Presented in Semi Boite Nature (SBN) boxes of 12 cigars, each dressed with a signature pigtail cap, this is a unique size within the Habanos portfolio. Perfect with a glass of champagne or a classic mojito.

TASTING NOTES

This Petit Robusto size is medium-bodied and known for its smooth, rounded flavour of creamy coffee, spice, cedar, with some subtle chocolate and nuttiness.

The cigar's creaminess is beautifully paired with a dry drink such as a Brut Champagne or a Bourbon.
