Trinidad - Robusto Extra Travel Humidor - Box of 14 Cigars
)
Product Description
Trinidad first introduced the Robusto Extra vitola in 2003. It was one of three new sizes introduced to the standard portfolio that year and despite quickly attracting a devoted following, was withdrawn from the range just eight years later as part of a global brand strategy.
It is therefore an absolute treat for Habanos collectors and connoisseurs that the size makes a surprise cameo. As with the H. Upmann Magnum 56 Jars released earlier this year, the Trinidad Robusto Extra Travel Humidor was originally intended for sale exclusively in Travel Retail stores. However, due to the on-going pandemic and limited travel options, a small number of these stylish units were sanctioned by Habanos s.a. for release in domestic markets.
The original 2003 release was presented in SBN boxes of 12 cigars. However the elegant leather/cedar branded travel humidors house 14 cigars each boasting an additional foot band, making them particularly unique and collectable.
The Robusto Extra measures 6 1/8” (155mm) x 50 ring gauge and has been blended in the classic, medium bodied style of Trinidad.
Trinidad cigars share a lot of history with Cohiba, not only for their age but also as a diplomatic gift. The marque originally only consisted of a single vitola, which was given to diplomats and their staff/advisers. News of these rare cigars was released and the serious habanos aficionados tried to source at least one of the infamous “Funadores”. In 1998 the cigar was released to the general market, being produced in small quantities at the Laguito (Cohiba) factory. Over the years the line has extended and is now a proud part of the Cuban cigar landscape.
Unlike Cohiba, the Trinidad cigars are not subjected to the extra fermentation. This aside only tobacco deemed of a high enough quality are used for Trinidad, ensuring a sold and complex flavour profile. Characteristically Trinidad cigars are thick and creamy with hints of aromatic woods and beans. Medium in body and very easy to smoke by those new to the cigar world. Also ideal as a mid-day smoke for aficionados alike.
