Trinidad Cabildos Edición Limitada 2024
The fourth Limited Edition cigar in the brand’s portfolio.
On the weekend of June 20th to June 22nd 2024, the first edition of Habanos World Days was held in London, a prestigious event honoring the 55th anniversary of the iconic Trinidad brand. It was here that the highly anticipated Trinidad Cabildos Edición Limitada 2024 was officially released, marking a significant addition to the brand's esteemed portfolio.
This new release is the fourth Edición Limitada from Trinidad, following the footsteps of Ingenios (2007), Short Robusto T (2010), and Topes (2016). Like its predecessors, the Cabildos is meticulously crafted by hand using long filler leaves exclusively sourced from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. These leaves are aged for a minimum of two years, ensuring a rich and refined smoking experience.
The name "Cabildos," which translates to "town councils" from Spanish, harkens back to the social associations of Cuba's colonial era. This historical reference adds a layer of cultural depth to the cigar, enriching its narrative and allure.
The Trinidad Cabildos features the Ilustres vitola, boasting a 46-ring gauge and a length of 162 mm. This size is a nod to an old-school tradition, appealing to aficionados who appreciate classic cigar dimensions.
Presented in an exclusive 5-count box adorned with brown and golden accents on the lid, the packaging references Trinidad’s 55th anniversary. Only 10,000 of these boxes have been produced, making the Trinidad Cabildos a highly coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Upon lighting, the Trinidad Cabildos greets the palate with a brioche-like warmth and a delicate spiciness. Early hints of licorice and sweet spices, such as cinnamon, are perceptible through retrohaling. Shortly thereafter, black pepper emerges, adding depth and complexity. The smoke is dense and rich, a testament to the two years of aging that the tobacco has undergone.
Moving into the second third, the cigar's profile evolves beautifully. Roasting notes take center stage, blending seamlessly with flavors of bitter cocoa, cinnamon, and mocha. The initial intensity mellows, and the spice recedes, allowing for a more rounded and pastry-like experience. This section of the cigar showcases a near-perfect balance, introducing subtle hints of green pepper and mint, accompanied by fresh almond and peanut nuances that invigorate the nasal passages.
As the cigar transitions into the final third, it softens further, becoming slightly creamy with almost vanilla-like notes. Flavors of gingerbread and slightly burnt coffee emerge, adding complexity and depth. The finish is intensely satisfying, offering a harmonious blend of all preceding flavors. The Trinidad Cabildos demonstrates exceptional aging potential, promising an evolving and enriching smoking experience for years to come.
The Trinidad Cabildos Edición Limitada 2024 is not just a celebration of tradition and craftsmanship; it is a testament to the unparalleled excellence of the Trinidad brand. Its exceptional taste and limited production make it a rare gem, ensuring that it stands out as a truly unique and highly sought-after addition to any aficionado's collection.
