Very pleased with my first and reasonably priced humidor. Arrived within days of placing the order. Extremely well packaged. Good solid construction and beautiful finish ( I chose the cherry varnish version). Regarding the hygrometer, the calibration adjustment screw mechanism is rather flimsy. After some fiddling I did managed to set the device to the correct reading and it seems to provide a reasonably accurate reading of humidity levels. The set up instructions are clear and easy to follow. I seasoned the humidor for a few days before use (as advised by a previous reviewer). Received a bonus gift cigar ring-gauge chart which is quite handy. Staff emailed me after delivery to check all was well. All was well. Service cannot be faulted.

I decided that I'd experiment with Non-Cubans for a change. Out of the four I chose this is easily the winner. Oily, sweet wrapper from cameroon mixed with up to 10 year old Dominican tobacco this one really pleased my palate. Sweet cocoa with a nutty and spicy edge. This is a flavour bomb!

Antonio Gimenez Panatela Cigar - 1 Single
by Christian
Holy damn the price of this cigar... it's a nice little panatela, don't get me wrong, but it's not worth the price. It feels more like a montecristo purito, which averages around £1.50ish. Even a guantanamera purito is a bit better.
The taste was "pretty good", nothing exceptional, nothing brilliant, but a pleasant 20 minute afternoon smoke. It's really not worth it. General quality seems pretty good.

Nice flavour, slightly tight draw, a bit pricey for such a small cigar

This was my first Arturo Fuente cigar and I must say it was fantastic! The draw is a bit tight but nothing unexpected. The construction was solid and ash held for about an inch and a half. The burn was also consistent through about 2/3 of the cigar with a bit of relighting needed. The cigar lasted me about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
In terms of flavor I found the smoke very smooth and creamy with hints of chocolate, vanilla and of roasted Barley. Towards the last 1/3 the taste developed into something much more rich and deep. As a novice myself I was surprised by the overall strength but was not overwhelmed as it came gradually and consistently.
Would recommend to anyone looking to develop their palate.
5/5 Because I enjoyed the experience and quality.

On my fourth one of these now and to be honest I enjoy them a bit more every time! I'm ordering more and can see these as permanent fixtures in my humidor for those (many) occasions when you don't have time for.... Well, which one for those times ....
