The Media Luna is one of the three new exciting sizes that are poised to join the elegant Trinidad brand (Topes and Esmerelda being the other two). Since the announcement last year, all in the cigar world have been eagerly awaiting for them to take their place within the current range.
Measuring 4 1⁄2” (115mm) x 50 ring gauge, the Media Luna is an entirely new size within the Habanos portfolio and referred to as a Marinas in the factories of Cuba. The name Media Luna translates to “Half Moon” in English, but is also the name of a small town in Cuba.
Complete with a signature pigtail, the cigars are presented in SBN boxes of 12 cigars and are the perfect way to see out this iconic brand’s 50th anniversary year.
Trinidad cigars share a lot of history with Cohiba, not only for their age but also as a diplomatic gift. The marque originally only consisted of a single vitola, which was given to diplomats and their staff/advisers. News of these rare cigars was released and the serious habanos aficionados tried to source at least one of the infamous “Funadores”. In 1998 the cigar was released to the general market, being produced in small quantities at the Laguito (Cohiba) factory. Over the years the line has extended and is now a proud part of the Cuban cigar landscape.
Unlike Cohiba, the Trinidad cigars are not subjected to the extra fermentation. This aside only tobacco deemed of a high enough quality are used for Trinidad, ensuring a sold and complex flavour profile. Characteristically Trinidad cigars are thick and creamy with hints of aromatic woods and beans. Medium in body and very easy to smoke by those new to the cigar world. Also ideal as a mid-day smoke for aficionados alike.
