As a 'newbie' to humidors it has been a value for money.
Lid seals well and the humidity settles down to a constant. Mine is running at 67% which is what I want. But I would recommend the upgrade of the hydrometer.
It does feel a lttle lightweight and don't be fooled by the finish. It's nice but it's never going to be an antique!

I was very disappointed by this cigar. It was dry, packed complexity, created much smoke but little flavour or savour. The Mitchellero Peru series is far better and far better value.

Charatan Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by James
Smoke time: 50 minutes
*Initial Draw:** Mild, aromatic, with cedar and black pepper notes. The draw is open, necessitating short, frequent puffs.
- **Construction:** Decent, with the ash staying intact through the first third.
- **First Third:** Pleasant but lacking complexity.
- **Second Third:** Develops a noticeable acidity and acridity that detracts from the flavor.
- **Final Third:** The flavors continue to deteriorate, becoming bland and losing complexity. While there is some improvement toward the end, it remains underwhelming.
The cigar has some positive aspects, such as decent construction and a pleasant aroma on the initial draw. However, it also has notable downsides, particularly as it progresses into the second and final thirds.
Overall, it seems like the cigar started with some promise but ultimately disappointed as it progressed.

I selected this one to enjoy on an afternoon in the late August sun. It was bought to try out the large diameter as I usually smoke narrower cigars. It took 45 minutes as stated and there was zero bitterness for me. The smoke was mild but pleasant and there were no real discernable flavours to it. It did however burn unevenly, persistently on one side. When the ash dropped off I could see an area of filler that was much less dense causing the problem.

Now I must say this is not for my palate as I typically prefer lighter, creamier, more nutty cigars. However I cannot deny this is an impressive premium cigar. I was delighted by this as It was the first maduro I have smoked. It has an excellent draw, slightly uneven burn but this was probably my error. Strong notes of hot pepper, espresso and dark chocolate make for an intense and delicious smoke. This pairs greatly with a fruity rioja red wine or a warm sweet bourbon.

Cohiba Wide Short Cigar - 1 Single
by Peter
Just at the end of a very enjoyable half hour with this cigar. The burn has been even but I've had to relight 6 times which isn't an issue for me. It is windy outside which hasn't helped. A very creamy flavour for me, enjoyed with a very creamy 8 year old whisky... from Lidl, but nice all the same!
