If you’re looking for a solid, flavorful cigar at a low cost,something you can enjoy regularly without worrying too much, Factory Smokes Maduro fits the bill. It delivers good Maduro‐style flavor (coffee, chocolate, pepper) at a bargain. But if you expect high‐end craftsmanship or intricate flavor transitions, you may be slightly underwhelmed.

This one didn’t quite hit the spot for me. It wasn’t terrible by any means, but compared to some of the other Drew Estate cigars I’ve enjoyed, it just felt a bit different. The flavour came across stronger and a little stranger than I expected, not unpleasant, just not as well-balanced as the rest of their range.
I took it out of the humidor for about an hour before lighting up, and it started off fine, but about halfway down it began to burn my mouth slightly, which didn’t help the experience. It’s still a decent smoke, but for me, it lacks the smoothness and sweetness that I usually love from Drew Estate. Not one I’d rush back to, though I’m glad I gave it a try.

This is a great cigar. Very complex. Changes every 3rd. Lasted over 2 hours. Starts off dark with earthy and dark chocolate. Peppery retro hale. 2nd third more milk chocolate and sweet. Last 3rd dark and coffee with a hazelnut taste. Highly recommend.

Adorini Chianti Medium Deluxe Rosewood (Red Wood) Cigar Humidor - 100 Cigar Capacity (AD095)
by Richard
After much research and consideration, I decided to make the Adorini Chianti Deluxe my very first humidor purchase, and I’m glad to say the experience has been a rewarding one. Right out of the box, the presentation was impressive—well-built, elegant, and complete with everything I needed to get started. It came with a hygrometer, humidifier cap with fluid, and even an additional hygrometer, which I appreciated. When seasoning, I used a Boveda seasoning pack along with a Boveda pack holder for the back of the humidor, which made the process very straightforward. To ensure accuracy, I calibrated the provided analogue hygrometer and cross-checked it against a calibrated Govee Bluetooth hygrometer. The analogue reading matched closely with the digital, giving me confidence in its reliability. Since then, both humidity and temperature have remained consistent, which has reassured me as a beginner. In terms of capacity, I’ve found it comfortably fits around 50 robusto-sized cigars, and it could hold more if you lean toward smaller formats. The Spanish cedar interior feels solid and well-f

AVO Classic Uvezian Puritos - 1 Single
by Stuart
The AVO Classic Uvezian Puritos really surprised me, taken straight out of the cedar humidor with a 69% Boveda, it smoked beautifully from start to finish. It gives off a lot of smoke, which I always enjoy, and it burned steadily with no canoeing or touch-ups needed.
For a small cigar, it genuinely packs a punch. The flavour’s rich and well balanced, and I’d even say it beats out some larger ring gauge cigars for both smoke production and taste. Don’t let the size fool you, if you take your time and smoke it like you would a bigger cigar, it delivers a properly satisfying experience. A cracking little stick that proves good things really do can come in small packages.
