TRINIDAD WIDE SHORT 6 X 10
TRINIDADStorage Instructions
To preserve the character of the TRINIDAD wide short store it in a well maintained humidor where temperature and humidity remain steady. Aim for a relative humidity of 65 to 70 percent with a target of about 68 percent. Keep temperature between 65 and 70 ºF which is 18 to 21 ºC with an ideal of roughly 68 ºF or 20 ºC. Season your humidor before first use and monitor conditions with a reliable two way hygrometer. Because the wide short is a larger ring gauge it can respond more quickly to changes in humidity. Avoid very high humidity to prevent swelling or a gummy draw. Store the cigars horizontally on cedar shelves when possible to allow even acclimation and to benefit from the cedar aroma.
Care Tips
Handle the TRINIDAD wide short gently to protect the wrapper oils and veins. Use a sharp straight guillotine or a large punch that suits the wide ring gauge to create a clean draw. When lighting toast the foot first and then finish with even, steady draws while rotating the cigar to achieve a uniform burn. Take slow puffs to avoid overheating the thicker filler that comes with wider formats. If you just received the cigar let it rest in your humidor for at least two weeks to settle after transit, and consider longer resting of three to six months if you prefer a smoother profile. For enthusiasts who like to age, 6 months to 3 years will often deepen complexity while preserving balance, and some collectors age longer for richer tertiary notes. Check regularly for plume or mold. Plume appears as a fine crystalline bloom and is a sign of proper aging while fuzzy or colored spots indicate mold and should be removed from contact with other cigars. Maintain your humidor with distilled water or a 50/50 propylene glycol mix and rotate stock occasionally to ensure even conditioning. Keep flavored or infused cigars separate from traditional blends to protect the TRINIDAD wide short’s natural flavor.
Reviews and Ratings
There are few if any major independent reviews from outlets like Cigar Aficionado or Halfwheel for the Trinidad wide short specifically. That said, the trinidad line as a whole is regularly praised for consistent construction and a refined flavor profile. Retail customer ratings and enthusiast commentary commonly note a smooth draw, balanced medium body, and flavor notes that range from cedar and toasted nuts to gentle cocoa and baker’s spice. If you value expert opinion, look to reviews of nearby trinidad vitolas for a reliable sense of what to expect from this compact, broad format.
History and Heritage
Trinidad is a storied Cuban marque originally produced with an emphasis on elegance and exclusivity and later made available more broadly. The brand is known for careful leaf selection and hand rolling by experienced torcedores, resulting in cigars that emphasize balance and refinement. The trinidad wide short applies that heritage to a shorter, wider vitola that delivers concentrated flavor in a shorter session while retaining the brand’s reputation for solid construction and an approachable yet nuanced smoking experience. Depending on the market you may encounter Cuban originals or licensed productions but the focus on craftsmanship remains central to the name.
Tasting Notes
The Trinidad wide short delivers a medium‑to‑full bodied experience that opens with a thick, creamy base and bright cedar smoke. Expect layered flavors of dark cocoa and espresso, framed by toasted almond and a subtle leather undertone, while black pepper and warm baking spice emerge on the retrohale. A fine sugar‑cane sweetness and hints of molasses soften the center palate, leading to a long, velvety finish redolent of toasted oak and cigar box aromas.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean rum – a single‑barrel or añejo rum with notes of caramel and dried fruit enhances the cigar’s molasses and brown‑sugar sweetness while tempering its spice. Espresso ristretto – a concentrated, bitter espresso mirrors the Trinidad’s cocoa and coffee notes, sharpening the cigar’s complexity between puffs. 70–75% dark chocolate – clean, bittersweet chocolate amplifies the cigar’s cocoa character and provides a creamy contrast that highlights its cedar and nutty nuances.
