Trinidad y Cia

Trinidad y Cia is an old-school bargain brand that's been around for years. Born and raised in Nicaragua, Trinidad y Cia pays homage to classic Cuban sticks sold on the streets of Havana in years past. Trinidad y Cia consists of a simple blend of Dominican filler leaves, a Honduran binder, and a smooth Ecuador Sumatra wrapper leaf. It should be noted that Trinidad y Cia is a mixed filler cigar, also known as a "Cuban Sandwich" style cigar, using a mixture of both long and short fillers to keep manufacturing costs down and maintain a consistent draw. Overall, Trinidad y Cia is a pretty decent knock-around cigar for the money. The classic bands on Trinidad y Cia add to the old fashioned Cuban feel of the experience. An easy draw and sharp burn are always to be expected. Voluminous clouds of white smoke deliver a simple, earthy flavor with a nutty, grassy character and hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. A pronounced raw tobacco note carries the flavor profile throughout. Very pleasant and easy to smoke. Trinidad y Cia is a great cigar for newbies, though even seasoned connoisseurs should give it a try simply for the nostalgia if nothing else. At an incredibly affordable price point, Trinidad y Cia makes a great "dog walker" or "grass cutter" cigar as well. Medium-bodied, Trinidad y Cia pairs well with white or red wine, bourbon, and light to medium beer. Other value-priced cigars to consider include Flor de Oliva and Mayorga.
