The Trinidad Fundadores was once a quiet name in Havana circles—originally not even for sale to the general public, but reserved for diplomatic gifts, much like the early Cohibas. When it finally hit the shelves in the late '90s, it came with an air of mystery and an eyebrow-raising reputation.
At 192mm and a tidy 40 ring gauge, this long, elegant vitola (originally exclusive to Trinidad) smokes like a leisurely afternoon in old Havana. It’s slender, but don’t let the size fool you—there’s plenty going on in that leaf. You’ll get classic Cuban notes: toasted wood, soft baking spice, and a bit of hayfield sweetness with just a hint of citrus peel tucked away in the final third. Smooth and medium-bodied throughout, it rewards patience without ever becoming a slog.
We find the draw impeccable and the construction consistent—exactly what you'd expect from a cigar that’s played both the diplomat and the gentleman.
For those who like their Cubans a bit more refined, and their smoke a bit more civilised, the Fundadores are a fine choice.
