Trinidad
Trinidad Fundadores - Single Cigar
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.

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.

"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..."
