Altadis U.S.A. Pays Tribute to ‘Golden Era’ With Trinidad Espiritu

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Trinidad brand and Altadis U.S.A. is celebrating with an entirely new concept for the brand.

Trinidad Espiritu is a Nicaraguan puro made by Abdel Fernández that is made to harken back to the late 1960s and early 1970s. Altadis U.S.A. will attempt to further this connection with a series of events to launch the cigar.

“This release will be an experience, as we will hold a nationwide tour of events, featuring vintage Latin Caribbean music, classic cocktails, domino tournaments and much more,” said Eddy Guerra, brand manager for Altadis U.S.A. “This will be an all-encompassing experience that will go hand in hand with a cigar we are so very proud of. Our kick-off event will be in Miami in June.”

For the music component, the company has created a Spotify playlist of classic Caribbean music designed to highlight the era.

As for the cigar, it’s offered in five vitolas.

• Trinidad Espiritu Robusto (5 x 52)
• Trinidad Espiritu Toro (6 x 52)
• Trinidad Espiritu Magnum (6 x 60)
• Trinidad Espiritu Belicoso (6 1/8 x 52)
• Trinidad Espiritu Fundador (7 1/2 x 40)

The Fundador size will only be offered at events.

Altadis U.S.A. has not announced pricing for the cigars.
