First produced at the El Laguitos Factory in Havana, the Trinidad Reyes was manufactured not to be sold commercially, but handed out personally by Fidel Castro as diplomatic gifts.
A few sources contest this claim, but the quality and craftsmanship of the Trinidad Reyes is undeniable. This is one of the world great cigars – it’s just hard to get your hands on one.
Trinidad Reyes Overview
Similar to the minuto format, these petite firecrackers are only 4.3” long with a ring gauge of 40. The Trinidad Reyes (or kings as they’re affectionately called) are an expertly rolled, classic Cuban.
With a milky brown wrapper and a pigtail cap, these sticks have a predraw that smells light and flowery like meadows in the sunshine.
Trinidad Reyes was considered a select secret of the Cuban cigar industry and were only sold at auction in the early 1990s at the “Dinner of the Century” in Paris. They were sold at the first commercial auction soon after that memorable night, a box going for a whopping $11,400.
The Trinidad Reyes were introduced to wider sale with two other new vitolas, the Coloniale and the Robusto Extra, in November of 2003.
