Of all the different marcas out there it seems like Trinidad is the one I’ve seen posted the least about on this forum... is it due to availability, quality, flavor profile, price? Or is there some other reason why nobody seems to frequently smoke them?
Does nobody like trinidad cigars?

I'm assuming you mean CC trinidad? If so, I think it's mostly price. They're supposedly really good. And I'm under the impression that the NC trinidad brand is nothing to write home about at all.

I think it's more of a price/availability issue.. same with La Gloria Cubana.. I've only had one Trinidad, and it was pretty good. Better than some of the more popular marcas I've tried. Less creamy and more earthy though..

Love the cigars, the price isn’t friendly tho
Can’t go wrong with Vigias

+1 great cigars but price can hurt the wallet.

no,every vendor has some Trinidad, no lack of them.
there are damn few La Glorias anywhere, and if you find any MdO #2, please contact me.
In fact, there are more Regional LGCs than regular production.
Just a few years ago,La Gloria cigars would last just hours on the vendor sites.
To see any of them languish for weeks was unthinkable.
The Inmensos have a poor record, and the #4 are very one dimensional.

Everyday is special, no need to wait. Light it upI have (1) that was gifted me, I am waiting for some special occasion, special event in life or special reason to smoke it.
What if you wait and you hate it, need to sample to see if you like to buy more to save, lol
Even snowblowing is a special time, any excuseI have (1) that was gifted me, I am waiting for some special occasion, special event in life or special reason to smoke it.

There are currently other well known vendors who have the 24ct Coloniales for less than the vendor you referenced above as their standard price.

This is hard for me to say, gulp, but I agree with Jon. Coloniales is the best vitola of the last few yrs for trinidad. Fundies used to be special but my last box was very disappointing. And vigias are for people like Chuck. Over priced fatty designed to compete with macanudo in the US.

Put in a little bit of research, they're fairly easy to find
