The Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 3 Toro by Altadis U.S.A. is ranked #14 on the 2024 Cigar Coop Cigar of the Year Countdown.
Back in 2019, the Trinidad brand celebrated its 50th anniversary. The Trinidad brand traces its roots back to Cuba, but Altadis U.S.A. has owned the Trinidad brand in the U.S. for quite some time. For a while, the brand was almost dormant in the Altadis portfolio. That changed in 2019 when, coinciding with Trinidad’s 50th anniversary, Altadis U.S.A. launched the Trinidad Espiritu Series. This would take a whole new spin on the Trinidad brand and essentially bring the brand back to life in the Altadis portfolio. Currently, there are three Trinidad Espiritu releases, with Espiritu No. 3 being the latest in the series. Each installment pays homage to a different cigar-producing Latin American region. Each installment also features vibrant packaging reflecting that region.

The Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Bull comes in at #15 on the 2024 Cigar Coop Cigar of the Year Countdown.
The Eye of the Bull debuted at the 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, but if you looked closely at the Fuente booth at the 2022 PCA Show, you might have seen it tucked away. The Eye of the Bull has two distinguishing characteristics. First, it is a short but plump cigar, measuring only 3 1/2 x 55. Second, the cap has something resembling a bullseye on it – which is just a small, dark, circular Maduro. The cigar was a project spearheaded by Arturo Fuente International Executive President Ciro Cascella. It is the second “Eye” in the Don Carlos brand as the more famous “Eye” is the Don Carlos Eye of the Shark.
