Trinidad Casilda Coleccion Habanos 2019

The Trinidad Casilda is among the most collectible modern Cuban cigars produced by Habanos. Released in 2019 as part of the prestigious Coleccion Habanos XVI series to mark Trinidad's 50th anniversary, only 3,000 numbered book-style boxes of 24 cigars were made. The Casilda uses the Sobresalientes No. 2 vitola — a magnificent 7.3-inch cigar at a 53 ring gauge — giving it exceptional length, presence, and slow burn time.

What it tastes like

The Casilda follows an arc common to well-aged, carefully selected Cuban tobacco: the first third opens with subtle cedar, creamy coffee, and a delicate floral sweetness. Through the middle section, flavors build toward roasted nuts and rich cocoa, with a light spice that underscores rather than dominates. The final third brings earth and supple leather into the fore, with a smooth, nutty finish that lingers. The construction — hand-selected Vuelta Abajo leaf, pigtail cap, and flawless rolling — is exemplary. Medium-full in body, it never overwhelms.

Who it's for

This is a collector's cigar and an aficionado's smoke. The Casilda is a genuinely rare item: when it sells out, it's gone. If you find one, treat it with respect — give it an hour minimum of humidor rest after purchase, and choose your occasion carefully. Budget 90–120 minutes and pair it with aged cognac, a well-aged Scotch, or dark espresso. Review our how to cut a cigar guide before approaching the pigtail cap.
