Trinidad Esmeralda

Although the brand is one of the newest in the Habanos range, it has been regarded as a special insider’s tip right from the start and has since become hugely popular. To mark this special occasion, Trinidad is adding three special vitolas to its standard range: Trinidad Topes, Trinidad Media Luna and Trinidad Esmeralda.

Trinidad Esmeralda at a glance

The format is called Dinora and has a ring gauge of 53. At 145mm, this cigar is the longest of the three new releases and also features the famous pigtail. The intense flavour profile, characterised by notes of earth, wood and coffee, is the result of the brand’s special tobacco blend. This tobacco is grown and processed entirely by hand in Vuelta Abajo, Cuba – the world’s finest growing region.

The Trinidad Esmeralda is presented in a Semi Boîte Nature box of 12 cigars, typical of the brand.

What Cigar Aficionado says

“Although this braided Toro has a somewhat firm draw, it delivers a complex smoke that is floral and sweet, developing richer notes of caramel, leather and earth. Nutty vanilla notes also blossom on the palate. " Cigar Aficionado, 1 April 2021
