José L. Piedra is a very special brand. Unlike most Habanos, the leaves used to make its vitolas come exclusively from the Vuelta Arriba region.

Originally from Asturias, the Piedra family arrived in Cuba in the 1880s. They settled down and started producing cigars near the town of Santa Clara, in the heart of the Vuelta Arriba region, where tobacco growing had been going on since the 16th century.
It was José Lamadrid Piedra, of the second Piedra generation, who was to create and develop the brand as we know it today.

The José L. Piedra vitolas are all made totally by hand, tripa corta.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.

It's amazing the depth of flavour that the short leaf unfolds in the long format! The intense spiciness offers soft peatiness alongside lighter, spicy coffee aromas and spices; plus quite pronounced, beautiful leather notes. In the background, discreet fermentation is sometimes noticeable. The development is of course, as with all short fillers, quite linear. But the flavour becomes more concentrated puff by puff. All in all, a particularly hearty smoke, tending to be more for experienced smokers.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.
