Trinidad is named as a tribute to the Santísima Trinidad city raised during the 16th century, and listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, which is located on the southern coast of Cuba. 

Trinidad, as a Habano brand, dates back to 1969, and for many years, like the Cohiba brand, it was only used for gifts to foreign diplomats.

It was in 1998 when this brand was available to smokers for general sale and then only in very limited quantities.

For several years Trinidad was made at El Laguito, the historic Cohiba factory, where its uniquely fragrant and aromatic, medium flavoured blend of filler and binder leaves coming from the Vuelta Abajo zone, which make them unique and very exclusive.  Today Trinidad is made in Pinar del Río, the most important city of Vuelta Abajo.
