Trinidad

The Cuban Trinidad brand dates to 1969, according to Habanos, and for many years its cigars were reserved as gifts for foreign diplomats. General sale began only in 1998 and initially in limited quantities. Fundadores was the original vitola; later additions included Esmeralda and Robustos T. The name honors the historic Cuban city of Trinidad. Any separate non-Cuban products using the same name must be identified and described on their own terms.

From gift to retail

Habanos dates the Cuban brand to 1969. Public sales began in 1998 after years in which the cigars served as diplomatic gifts.

Vitolas

Fundadores was the original format. Robustos T and Esmeralda were among later additions. A particular cigar's character cannot be inferred from the brand name alone.
