Storage Instructions
Trinidad Media Luna (12) should be stored in a well maintained humidor to preserve its delicate oils and nuanced aroma. Aim to keep relative humidity between 65% and 70%, with an ideal target around 68% RH. Maintain a stable temperature between 68ºF and 70ºF (20ºC and 21ºC) to avoid expansion and contraction of the wrapper and binder. Use a reliable hygrometer and a quality humidification system, and top up with distilled water or a professional humidification solution as recommended by the device manufacturer. For short term travel carry the cigars in a travel humidor or a sealed tube with a small humidification pack. Avoid direct sunlight, extreme temperature swings, and overly dry or damp environments that can dull flavor or cause bloom and cracking.
Care Tips
Handle Trinidad Media Luna (12) gently to protect its oil rich wrapper. Hold the cigar near the band or toward the head when moving it and avoid gripping or squeezing the body. If the cigar is newly shipped allow it to acclimate in your humidor for 7 to 14 days before smoking so it regains stable humidity. For those who enjoy cellaring, this blend often benefits from short to medium term aging. Expect pleasant smoothing and added complexity after 6 months to 2 years, with further nuance developing with longer cellaring up to 5 years depending on taste. Rotate boxes or trays occasionally to ensure even humidity distribution. When ready to enjoy, cut cleanly with a sharp cutter and light evenly for the best draw and to showcase the cigar’s character.

Tasting Notes
The Trinidad Media Luna (12) delivers a refined, medium-to-full bodied profile that unfolds slowly and deliberately. Initial draws reveal cedar and dark cocoa, layered with espresso-rich coffee and a gentle leather backbone, while mid-smoke brings warm baking spices and toasted almond nuances. A silky, creamy smoke bridges these notes to a subtle floral honey sweetness on the retrohale, and the aroma carries toasted oak, sweet spice and dried fruit. The finish is long and warming, leaving a pleasant peppered edge balanced by lingering cocoa and tobacco sweetness.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean rum (Añejo, 10–18 years), the rum’s molasses and caramel notes mirror the cigar’s sweet-dark-cocoa character while its oak influence enhances the cedar and spice. Single-origin espresso (dark roast), bright crema and concentrated coffee flavors cut through the cigar’s richness and amplify its espresso and roasted-nut tones. 70–75% dark chocolate or an aged Manchego, the chocolate heightens the cigar’s cocoa and bittersweet elements, while Manchego offers a savory, nutty counterpoint that amplifies its leathery and almond notes.
