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
Japan's first gin distillery is located in the southern part of Kyoto City, Japan. Their gin is made from rice alcohol and selected Japanese botanicals. The name Kinobi means "beauty of the season", so it has nothing to do with the similarly pronounced Obi-Wan Kenobi. What makes this gin special is the complex manufacturing process, which only a handful of distilleries in the world undertake. The starting ingredients are the flavors, which are divided into three groups. Base notes: juniper, violet root and flatwoods. Citrus: grapefruit and lemon and tea as the third group. Each group is individually steeped in rice wine and then distilled. After blending the distillates together, the master distiller mixes the newly received batch with the previous week's batch to maintain the flavor consistency and balance of the craft gin. After a few days of storage, half of the product is bottled in 70cl bottles while the other half waits to be blended with the latest batch soon.
Product Detail
Kinotea is produced in collaboration with local tea gardens in the Uji area south of Kyoto. Yuru and milled green tea come from plantations that have been in existence for over 200 years, lending a slightly sweet flavor to the gin.
