About the Trinidad Short Robusto T Limited Edition 2010
Trinidad sits among the most prestigious marques in the Habanos portfolio, a brand once reserved for diplomatic gifts before it reached the open market. The Short Robusto T was the brand’s contribution to the 2010 Edicion Limitada series, the annual Habanos program built around darker, longer-matured wrappers. Rolled in Cuba and dressed in two bands, including the distinctive limited edition ring, this petit robusto packed the character of a much larger cigar into a compact format. The leaves were aged for at least two years before rolling, a detail that gives the blend its rounded, settled feel.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans sweet and aromatic, with notes of coffee, toasted wood and a measured lift of black pepper on the retrohale. Moving into the middle, the smoke gathers weight and a touch of bitterness arrives, drifting toward dark chocolate and cedar while a faint floral edge lingers underneath. The final third trades the early sweetness for a heavier, predominantly woody finish, with leather and earth holding the profile together right down to the band. Throughout, the body stays comfortably medium, never overwhelming the palate.
Pairings
- Aged Cuban rum, whose caramel and oak echo the cigar’s sweeter, woody side.
- A dark, full-bodied espresso that reinforces the coffee and cocoa notes.
- A lightly peated single malt Scotch to contrast the pepper and cedar.
Aging and storage
Because the tobacco was already matured before release, this cigar smokes well today, yet additional rest tends to soften its pepper and deepen the cocoa and leather tones. Keep it in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius. As a discontinued limited edition, well-stored examples are increasingly scarce, so a stable environment protects both the smoking experience and the value of what you are holding.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the collector and the curious enthusiast alike. Smokers who appreciate Trinidad’s refined, cedar-forward style but want a shorter commitment will find a great deal to enjoy here, as will anyone building a cellar of older Edicion Limitada releases. Newcomers can approach it too, since the medium body keeps things approachable, though seasoned palates will get the most from its layered transitions.

Anna Sanders –
Decent robusto but not my favorite from Trinidad. The Trinidad Short Robusto T Limited Edition 2010 has good flavor – leather and wood – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.

Excellent robusto from Trinidad. The Trinidad Short Robusto T Limited Edition 2010 has a refined flavor profile – lots of coffee and cream. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 81 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.

The Trinidad Short Robusto T Limited Edition 2010 is a respectable robusto. Nice notes of coffee and cream, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Trinidad offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.
