TRINIDAD

THREE NEW VITOLAS LAUNCH DINNER

• The three new sizes (vitolas) from the Trinidad brand were launched on Monday 10th November at the London Park Lane Hilton.

• A wonderful dinner was enjoyed at ‘Windows Restaurant’ at the top of the Hilton Park Lane Hotel, overlooking Hyde Park .

• All three new cigars were tried and enjoyed over the dinner and the opinion was:

- Excellent quality and appearance 

- Perfect construction; 

- Medium strength - spicy;

- Full flavour and medium to full body;

- Great aroma;

- A bit young but still a good smoke;

- Would benefit from 2-3 months on the shelf.

• The UK market is the first to receive the new Trinidads and as far as we understand new vitolas will not be available in other countries until next year.

• Naturally, the first few batches of a new cigar are always the best, so its seems that the UK market has again received the best crop.

• Some of the people attending the dinner expressed an opinion that it's very likely that these first English Market Selection new Trinidad sizes may become collectibles in the future.

• Our special thanks to Hunters & Frankau Ltd, who put together this wonderful dinner and our guests - Emanuel, John, Steve and Marina who, I hope, enjoyed the dinner as much as I did.
