Trinidad is named after the beautiful 16th Century city of La Santísima Trinidad (The Holy Trinity), listed by UNESCO as a historical monument, which is situated on Cuba’s south coast.
Trinidad, as a Habano, dates back to 1969 but for many years, like Cohiba, it was made only for gifts to foreign diplomats. Not until 1998 was it released for general sale and then only in small quantities.
There was only one size of Trinidad, the Fundador or Founder. Although it resembles the Cohiba Lanceros in length and the finish of its cap, it is unique because of two extra ring gauge points added to its girth. Since 2003 there are five Sizes, made in the Francisco Donatien manufactory (Pinar del Río), to its own particular recipe of tobaccos selected from the Vuelta Abajo region.
The Fundador is ‘totalmente a mano, tripa larga’ – totally hand made, long filler.
