Trinidad Corcel Year of the Horse

With the launch of the Trinidad Corcel Year of the Horse, Habanos, S.A. unveils a creation where Cuban tradition meets the symbolism of the Chinese Lunar New Year, paying tribute to one of the most admired animals in the zodiac: the horse.

For 2026, the Year of the Horse represents strength, freedom and endurance — values that resonate deeply with the Trinidad marque. Since its origins, Trinidad has been synonymous with elegance, precision and exceptional craftsmanship, and the Corcel continues this legacy with a cigar designed for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a truly memorable experience.

The name itself, Corcel — meaning “steed” or “noble horse” — reflects the spirit behind this exclusive release. Like the powerful animal that inspired it, the cigar embodies energy, character and refinement. Each Trinidad Corcel is meticulously handcrafted in Cuba by experienced torcedores, using carefully selected tobaccos from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region, the birthplace of some of the world’s finest cigar leaves.

Presented in the new Patricios vitola within the Cuban cigar naming system, the Trinidad Corcel measures 135 mm in length with a 55 ring gauge and features a distinctive pigtail finish. This elegant format offers a balanced smoking experience, allowing the complexity and aromatic richness of Trinidad’s tobacco blend to fully express itself.

The presentation reflects the exclusivity of this commemorative edition. Each box contains 18 individually numbered Habanos, with only 8,888 boxes produced worldwide. The beautifully designed packaging incorporates NFC technology, allowing collectors to verify the authenticity of their cigars while accessing detailed product information — an additional guarantee of quality and provenance.

Adding to its unique character, each cigar carries a dedicated Year of the Horse foot band, reinforcing the connection between the cigar and the cultural symbolism behind this special release.

The Trinidad Corcel Year of the Horse also marks the completion of a remarkable chapter in Habanos’ Chinese New Year series dedicated to its Global Brands. This exclusive release joins a prestigious collection of previous editions inspired by the Chinese zodiac calendar: Romeo y Julieta Maravillas 8 Year of the Rat, Hoyo de Monterrey Primaveras Year of the Ox, H. Upmann Magnum 52 Year of the Tiger, Cohiba Siglo de Oro Year of the Rabbit, Montecristo Brillantes Year of the Dragon, and Partagás Cedros Year of the Snake. Each creation has celebrated the cultural symbolism of its respective zodiac sign while showcasing the heritage, craftsmanship and diversity of the Habanos portfolio. With the Trinidad Corcel, the series continues its tribute to tradition and symbolism, adding a new expression of Cuban artistry dedicated to the strength and spirit of the Horse.
