The premium cigar distributor Habanos, S.A., in collaboration with Pacific Cigar Corporation, has introduced a new, limited production cigar named the Trinidad Corcel. This offering was created specifically to commemorate the Chinese Lunar New Year and the symbolic Year of the Horse.
The Trinidad Corcel is positioned as "a symbol of innovation and authenticity, its name paying tribute to the charming Cuban city recognised as a World Heritage Site." Each vitola measures 55 ring gauge by 135 millimeters in length and is crafted from tobacco grown in Cuba's renowned Vuelta Abajo region. The product is characterized by its medium strength and a flavor profile that progresses through notes described as honeyed, woody, and creamy.
The Trinidad Corcel cigars are presented in numbered boxes of eighteen units equipped with NFC technology for verification.
