The Trinidad Espiritu Series is a line of cigars from the Trinidad brand that was first released in 2019. Born from a collaboration between AJ Fernandez and Altadis USA, each line in the Trinidad Series has its very own style, message, and flavor.
Showcasing tobaccos and branded themes from the Caribbean, Brazil, and Mexico, the Trinidad Espiritu is for all types of cigar lovers, far and wide. You’ll experience more medium to full-bodied strength in the body among the three of these cigars. However, the flavor profile between the three Trinidad Espiritu lines will be such a treat for your palate.
Created to honor the “golden age” of cigars in the 60s and 70s, AJ Fernandez wanted to make the people who inspired him to craft cigars proud with this new line. By the looks of it, he did just that! We’ll be taking you on a guided tour through the Trinidad Espiritu line today and explain why these lines are good for beginner cigar smokers.
If you're just starting out in cigars, the Trinidad Espiritu Series line is a great way to explore different styles while sticking with one trusted brand.
Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 1
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Strength: Full
The first cigar in the Trinidad Espiritu Series to come out was the Espiritu Series One, which draws inspiration from the Caribbean with its artwork and flavor profile. Showcasing colorful packaging and bands, the branding matches the smoking experience you’ll have with the Trinidad Espiritu Series One.
Right from the start, this cigar has a rich, spicy flavor that’s extremely manageable for a novice cigar smoker. This Nicaraguan puro is full-bodied, but the flavor notes you may detect are generous on your palate. Flavors you may detect in the Trinidad Espiritu Series one are notes of pepper, leather, chocolate, and a citrusy zest throughout.
Available in four different vitolas that come in boxes of 20, you’ll be looking at prices that range from $165 to $260 a box, depending on the size you choose. This bold but smooth cigar is a great introduction to the Trinidad Espiritu Series for beginners. If you’re new to cigar smoking and are someone ready to try something with a bit more power, then this is the cigar for you.
Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 2
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Brazilian Arapiraca
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Strength: Medium-Full
The second iteration of the Trinidad Espiritu is the Trinidad Espiritu Series Two, which was released in the spring of 2021. With major Brazilian influence in the Espiritu Series Two, the branding pays tribute to the country by using the colors of the Brazilian flag.
With a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper, this dark and oily wrapper could be intimidating to a newer cigar smoker. However, the strength profile is easier on the palate than the first Trinidad Espiritu. That’s in large part due to the Nicaraguan tobaccos in the binder and filler part of the cigar that are grown on AJ Fernandez’s farm.
Flavor notes you’ll detect while smoking the Trinidad Series Two are dark chocolate, dried fruit such as raisin, a dash of pepper, and sweet spice like cinnamon. The Espiritu Series Two is comparable to a sweet and spicy dessert. It’s a perfect after-dinner cigar with a coffee or red wine.
Like the Trinidad Espiritu One, this cigar line is available in four different vitolas that come in boxes of 20. The price range for the Espiritu Series Two ranges from $215 to $245. Being the best starting point for beginners in the Espiritu line, the Espiritu Series Two is flavorful without being too strong, and that touch of natural sweetness makes it a very pleasant, easygoing smoke.
