My Palio arrived last night.
The leather pouch is nice but I'm sure I would lose it if I took it out with me :P
Made my first cut on a Trinidad Reyes, I have heard good things about these cutters but my jaw dropped when I clipped the cap off.
Not a single shred of uneven tobacco, almost clinical.
Cleanest cut I've seen on any of my cigars.
Lifetime warranty as well. What more could you want?

Partagas Serie D No. 4 Cigar - Box of 25
by Michael
Currently working my way through a box from Nov '10.Simply sublime cigars! They're never going to win any contests for their aesthetic appeal but the true beauty,as it should,lies within the wrapper.Sweet spice and the classic Cuban white pepper,much as you'd expect from the marque,but also some glorious and quite unexpected Digestive biscuit (Gram cracker) flavours in the first 1/3 and beautiful dark chocolate notes weaving their way in and out throughout the duration.This smoke is worth every penny of the price.Spend some time with it,you'll be very glad you did!!

This is my first humidor, so I don't speak from experience! I am, however, meticulous in my research and spent a lot of time looking at various comments on various humidors to see what was right for me, and this came out on top.
I don't smoke a huge amount. Maybe 1 or two a month (if that), but obviously cigars don't take this into account - so I get myself a humidor after a particularly generous friend gave me several nice Cubans for my birthday.
The first thing that drew me to this was the burl. I love burls and this is a really nice one. It's darker than in the picture (a good thing) but has the same textured look and is very attractive. It has a nice felt bottom and sits on my desk rather nicely.
I was a little concerned about the analogue hygrometer (I've heard they're less reliable) so upgraded to the digital, which seems to be good. I was also a little worried that the humidifier hung down too far (it looks like that in the picture) but rest assured it doesn't. There's a good amount of space in there and the lay-out is nice.
The cutter and matches are useful to h

The 4 things you need to start you off on the right track in smoking cigars. (1) a good cigar, I would highly recommend the Por Larranaga Petit Corona, it is mild to medium with a lovely creamy taste and lasts about an hour (2) A good cigar cutter, the Xikar Xi series cutters are the best you can buy with twin self sharpening blades to provide a good clean cut every time, (3) A Natural flame to gently toast not roast your cigar foot then light, the Xikar Exodus natural flame wind resistant butane lighter is ideal and fabulous quality even comes with a polishing cloth to keep the lighter looking great, (4) A good humidor, I highly recommend the Adorini Deluxe range, the build quality of these himi's are superb, cedar lined which is slotted to both walls and base to provide better air circulation, the Adorini Deluxe humidifier uses state of the art acryl polymer fleece which reacts faster to climatic changes in the humidor and it has adjustable vents to reduce or increase humidity, and the Adorini Deluxe hair hygrometer is an highly accurate analog humidity measurer.

Pronounced "Por Lar Ran Yarga" is the oldest surviving Cuban cigar maker still in existence est 1834 this Petit Corona is a beautifully mild to medium cigar with a luscious sweet creamy caramel taste, well built and the draw was just right a fabulous 1 hour smoke from beginning to end, highly recommended this going to be my staple cigar from now on sheer bliss in a cigar worthy of 10 stars so 5 here as well *****

Had been saving this for months for my 22nd today, and i reciprocate with previous reviews that it is the best i have ever had. Lovely smooth taste to start, and slowly became more complex as it burned. Had it all the way down to just over an inch before it even started to turn bitter. Great cigar. This is definitely going to be a cigar my humidor will never be without.
