Trinidad is one of the most prestigious brands of Habanos. The brand was created in 1969 and, like Cohiba, remained an exclusive gift for diplomats and foreign dignitaries for many years. In 1998, the brand was commercialised. The Trinidad brand is aimed above all at Habanos lovers looking for absolute quality with an exclusive character.
Launched in 2004 and retired after eight years, this vitola left a lasting mark on cigar lovers. In 2024, Habanos S.A. revived it for the Trinidad brand’s 55th anniversary during the Habanos World Days in London. Presented in elegant boxes of three, the cigars feature three bands, including a commemorative anniversary band and the iconic “T” foot band. The medium-bodied Robusto Extra measures 6 1/8” by 50 ring gauge, with a signature pigtail cap. Hand-rolled with select Vuelta Abajo leaves, it preserves the classic, aromatic character of the original.

Description
Brand Story
Premium tequilas and mezcals that you don't "down" as a shot or as a cocktail ingredient, but rather taste in peace like an old scotch, are on the rise. Arturo Lomeli can tell you a thing or two about that. In 1997, he began marketing his rather cheaply produced tequila in a stereotypical bottle with a sombrero and moustache. He soon found himself back at school - the subject was "luxury marketing". In 2007, the Clase Azul Ultra was launched on the market for US$ 1,200 and was very well received. Since then, the company has specialized in the high-end market segment for tequila and mezcal. These carefully painted ceramic bottles, reminiscent of oversized pepper mills, are a real eye-catcher. Apart from a golden ornament, each bottle bears the signature of the master distiller and the indigenous artist (from the Mazahua people) who designed it.
Product Detail
Clase Azul's new masterpiece: mezcal made from Salmiana agave (also known as 'verde' agave). This time, the outside of the bottle is made of red stone. The glass water bottle that accompanies this mezcal is one of the brand's most remarkable. The colour is bright red, a tribute to the indigenous Wachchil people of the region. The name 'Aztec', which means 'to paint the head red', refers to the fact that the Wachchil traditionally painted their bodies red, hence the bright colour of this decanter! The carvings on the floor are supposed to represent the natural features of San Luis Potosí and the native agave plant. The lid of the gourd is handmade using a coloured worsted wool application technique, depicting magnificent landscapes of mountain ranges and desert valleys, with bright red finches flying overhead. It takes the craftsman more than three hours to create each lid!
