Trinidad

Espiritu Series No. 1

A return to the Age of Aquarius. The late ‘60s and early ‘70s were a strange time to be alive, but a great time be a cigar fan. This era is referred to by some as the ‘golden years’ of tobacco, specifically in reference to the fantastic blends coming out of the Caribbean at the time. Now the iconic heritage brand Trinidad is pairing up with the great AJ Fernandez to produce a Nicaraguan puro reminiscent of the spirit of cigar excellence from those years, and they named it the Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 1. The Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 1 contains all Nicaraguan tobacco carefully blended to speak to the soul and hearken back to the delightful island cigars of yesteryear. The packaging is a true representation of vintage Caribbean culture, and the cigars are medium-full bodied and satisfyingly full in flavor. If you’re looking for rich, chewy flavors of pepper, citrus, vanilla, and toast in perfect harmony, you’ll want to grab a box of Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 1 today. No time machine or passport required. Good news! The Trinidad Espiritu No.1 has received a well deserved 94-point rating and a spot on the top 25 cigars of 2023, with the review noting "First puffs start with concentrated notes of fig, raisin, date and dried blueberry. A meaty, savory element brings it all together for a jammy finish reminiscent of a California Cabernet."

This is the Espiritu Series 3. Mexican Habano San Andres wrapper, Nicaraguan blend filler. Rolled at AJ Fernandez. Beautifully constructed. Cold draw and a smell of the foot gives barnyard earth. A smell of the body of the cigar gives sweet tobacco. On first like there is spice, red pepper, light leather and earth, lots of smoke. As it settles down, a nice nuttiness comes through at times. Lots of creamy smoke throughout, she’s a chimney. Sweet tobacco and earth through first third. Once it hits the first band, wow. Strong nuttiness mixed with mocha. Spicy red pepper always available on the retrohale. Tingly. Sweetness going away at the end, she’s spicy. Little bitterness, like she’s mad to say goodbye. Burn and draw were perfect. 94/100
