The gala evening of the 24th Habano Festival was the event that marked the beginning of the 'Trinidad Year', focusing on the 55th anniversary of the prestigious Trinidad brand and its outstanding contribution to Habano culture. From its origins in 1969, when it was made solely as a gift from the Cuban State to international dignitaries visiting the island, Trinidad has won over the most demanding Habano aficionados over the last 55 years to become the elegant and exclusive brand it is today. Trinidad Robustos Extra vitola, with which the brand expands its standard portfolio, consolidates its position as a benchmark in the premium tobacco sector. With this vitola, the brand continues to enhance its offering, especially its selection of thick ring gauge Habanos, in line with its latest vitolas that have been so successful in the market. Robustos Extra is on the markets in two formats, a special 12-unit case and a 3-unit gift box, both with a new foot band and, for the anniversary year production, an additional 55th anniversary commemorative band, which makes this vitola unique. All those Habanos have been "Totally handmade with Long Filler” after a painstaking selection of the binder leaves from the area of Vuelta Abajo in the region of Pinar del Río, known as the birthplace of what is considered the best tobacco in the world.
