Trinidad cigars were originally only available to Cuban government officials and special visitors, yet by the 1990s, Trinidad's reputation had gone global, culminating in the cigars being made available publicly to cigar smokers everywhere. One of the first to land on store shelves and still one of the all-time favorites is the Trinidad Fundadores, a captivating 7.6” x 40 Lancero.
The cigars are expertly rolled in Havana using the finest aged tobaccos from Vuelta Abajo. There is an elegance to the blend that presents savory body and taste in a wondrously refined medium-bodied character. Earthiness is present throughout, with titillating coffee bean, cedar, nut, and cinnamon sugar flavors providing depth and complexity. The finale is an intricately constructed, endlessly satisfying affair.
The Trinidad Fundadores adds a new chapter to the Trinidad legend each time the Lancero-sized cigar is smoked. Its timeless personality and relatively newfound fame make it one of Cuba’s most intriguing smokes and a top pick for any cigar smoker looking to be dazzled.
Old is Gold and the Foundadore is the oldest size manufactured by the El Laguito factory. Taking the looks and the overall appearance in concern, the Foundadore may not be the brightest star but when it comes to smoking and flavor, the competition would end as soon as the size enters the room as the smooth feeling of the nutty particles enriched with rum taste enveloped in a soft covering is enough to give the smoker a mesmerizing aromatic pleasure that is guaranteed to last until the very last puff. The sensation of the woody and creamy delight while burning is what makes the Trinidad brand’s Foundadore size truly unique. The history of the Trinidad Cuban cigar brand’s Foundadore size is a very rich one. The unique journey from a mere factory to a worldwide recognition involves political issues, chief anticipation, black-tie dinners, admiration from magazines dedicated to the world of cigars and much more. On top of all, the size was the very first product released by the Trinidad band to be a purchasable item from the market.
