Trinidad Espiritu Series No.2 Cigars

The Trinidad Espiritu Series No.2 cigar is the follow up to the No. 1, which was built to evoke the tastes of old-school Cuban cigar blends. In this next cigar, A.J. Fernandez’s tobacco and factory are put to use by Rafael Nodal, the master blender behind the 2019 Cigar Aficionado Cigar of the Year, the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua. Here, Nodal is going for something to capture not the spirit of Cuba, but of Brazil.

Of course, that means Brazilian tobacco!

The long-filler blend is both Nicaraguan and Brazilian leaf. The outside, though, pays proper respect to the South American nation, with a nice rustic Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper.

The flavors of the Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 2 cigars will be familiar to those who have enjoyed Brazilian blends in the past, like, say Drew Estate’s Liga Privada No. 9, which featured Brazilian Mata Fina tobacco as a binder. Here, you’ll get similar notes of charred meat and earthy dark chocolate – it’s a nice hearty profile.

As the series progresses, we will likely enjoy blends built around the national spirit of different tobacco-producing countries. Perhaps these will one day be nice to compare alongside the CAO World Sampler, with cigars built around tobacco from a number of different nations. For now, we’re enjoying the trip that Trinidad is taking us on in this second installment. If you’re a fan of lively flavors, this cigar is a nice little pickup.

Please enjoy the Trinidad Espiritu Series No.2 cigars at your leisure.
