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
The distillery was founded in April 2005 by the King Car Group, one of the largest producers of food and beverages in Taiwan. With over 30 years of experience in brewing beer, at some point it was time to process beer into whisky. The Scottish coppersmith Forsyths in Rothes supplied the 4 pot stills. Other equipment includes a mash tun and eight stainless steel fermentation vats. Optic unpeated malt is mainly sourced from Baird's of Inverness in Scotland. The water comes from the Snow Mountains in Taiwan. Dr. Swan from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh is an internationally recognized expert in fermentation and distillation. The new make is primarily stored in ex-bourbon barrels from Kentucky. The significantly warmer and more humid climate in Taiwan allows the whisky to mature more quickly than in Europe and the angels are also significantly thirstier with an angel's share of 15-18% annually.
Product Detail
Kavalan Solist Sherry Cask is a premium whisky from Taiwan. It is matured in Oloroso Spanish sherry casks, which give it its intense flavour and colour. This single malt is a smooth, very rich whisky with a complex character. As with the other members of the Solist series, these are single cask limited bottlings, marked with a cask and bottle number. The alcohol content therefore varies slightly (50-60% vol.).
