Much secrecy surrounds the brand Trinidad. Said to be first produced since the late 1960’s in El Laguito factory in Havana, the very factory where the premium Cohiba cigars are rolled at, the brand wasn’t known to the general public until the late 1990’s when Habanos launched the brand to some limited countries at an official event in Paris. It was then available for export to the rest of the world in the following years, but its limited supply still makes it one of the most sought-after brand.

Among its most famous vitolas is the first ever release, the Trinidad Fundadores (or Founder in Spanish) which is similar in size to the Cohiba Lancero, a beautiful 7 inches long by 40 which like most Trinidad cigars, is a medium bodied Habano. The other famous ones are the Trinidad Reyes, Trinidad Vigia and Trinidad La Trova LCDH. There is also a Dominican Trinidad cigar brand that was started after the Cuban revolution. However, the original brand is Cuban Trinidad that is mentioned here.
