Trinidad Vigia

A brand-new vitola for Trinidad’s 50th anniversary!

Trinidad, named after a historic Cuban city, stands out as one of Cuba's unique cigar brands. Originally, Trinidad cigars were not available commercially and were reserved exclusively for diplomats and dignitaries. This exclusivity changed in 1998 when the brand was made available to the public with the introduction of a single long, thin vitola called Fundadores. Over the years, Trinidad expanded its lineup with additional sizes, only to later streamline its offerings in 2012 by removing certain vitolas. Despite these changes, Trinidad cigars have always been recognized for their distinctive pigtail cap.

In 2014, the Trinidad Vigia was launched, joining the brand’s regular production catalogue. Unlike the long and slender Fundadores, the Vigia is short and robust, embodying a different aesthetic while retaining the signature pigtail cap. The Vigia is named after the watchtowers ("vigías") in the Cuban city of Trinidad, which were historically used to oversee the sugarcane fields.

The Trinidad Vigia is a Torres cigar, measuring 110 mm in length with a 54 ring gauge. This Petit Robusto offers a smoking experience that lasts approximately 45 minutes, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a shorter yet flavorful smoke.

Wrapped in a beautiful Claro wrapper, the Vigia is visually appealing and promises an enticing experience. The cigar is crafted from high-quality Cuban tobacco, delivering a blend that is lush with earthy truffle notes, oakiness, and a warm, nutty finish. The Vigia offers raw notes of chocolate and roasted nuts, providing a rich and complex flavor profile.

Upon lighting, the Vigia impresses with its impeccable draw, producing generous volutes of smoke. The flavor notes of nuts wrapped in a creamy touch align perfectly with the brand's aromatic palette. The woodiness is subtle, ensuring a balanced and refined tasting experience. There is no bitterness, making the Vigia a pleasant and enjoyable cigar from start to finish.

The Trinidad Vigia is a testament to the brand's ability to evolve while maintaining its legendary status. Its introduction has been a great success, adding a new dimension to Trinidad’s lineup and offering cigar enthusiasts a unique and satisfying option.
