Very solid in look and feel and works great! The box is tight and holds the humidity perfectly. I calibrated the analog hygrometer that came with the box and it was only off by a percentage point. But since I'm a techy person (and a little picky) I added a digital hygrometer and calibrated that one as well. After seasoning the box for a week (bit longer than necessary), the box has held the humidity within a few points of 70%, naturally it dropped a bit when I put 25 cigars in that had not been in a real humidor but within a day or so it was back to 69 - 71% humidity. It's been about a month now, I've smoked a few of those cigars and I have to say they actually taste and smoke better than when I bought them from the cigar shop in town.

It is made to hold up to 100 sticks but if you only want to use it for 50 or so it is perfect because they will have room to breathe (IMO). My wife and I both thought it was huge when we got it but after a week or so it didn't seem so big and it looks great sitting on a small table in the living room over by the wall, looks like it belongs there.

Love the glass top, I can display the Cubans on top for all to see :-)

This product is great. After seeing the prices that local cigar shops wanted for much smaller humidors (at least twice as much as this one cost) this look like a great deal at $45. Works great no complaints

For this humidor to be at this price was increadible! i shopped around and this same model i saw priced all the way up to $110.00! it came in perfect condition. in the process of humidifying it. very beautiful wonderful seal to keep the humidity in. very happy with what i purchased! the humidifying process seems to be going very well, make sure you have the right stuff to do it right!

UPDATE: now that i've been through a winter, with low ambient humidity, i'm less happy with this item. it required constant attention to keep it humidified. in my opinion, cheap humidors are more trouble than they're worth. you're better off with a high-end humidor or else a tupperware, cooler, or wine refrigerator.

---------------------

this item is available from multiple vendors thru this amazon page. i chose vendor "Cigar Extras," and i received the "Bally" model, which appears to be identical to the "Milano" model that i ordered. it was very well packed and arrived promptly, in perfect condition. also, its internal relative humidity was already 67%, as measured by my calibrated hygrometer, so it was essentially pre-seasoned!

this humidor is beautifully made, with excellent fit and finish.

i'm a big fan of natural cherry wood, so i ordered the cherry version of this humidor. unfortunately, the cherry is finished in a very red stain, which was a little disappointing to me, but others may like it.

i'm using the "HygroSet II" round digital hygrometer, calibrated with the "Boveda One-Step Calibration," and 65% humidification beads from HeartfeltIndustries. the system is working beautifully.

my last piece of advice - order a larger humidor than you think you'll need; you won't regret it!

The humidor itself is fine, but the spring-based hygrometer is useless and cannot be calibrated. It just reads 40% RH all the time for me.

I wish this humidor was available without a hygrometer. I have to put something in just to fill in the front. I have a Caliber III internal hygrometer. I guess I'll have to get an Adorini hair hygrometer to fill in the front.

I bought this for my hubby at Christmas and it it turned out to be a great gift! The cedar smell is very strong (smelled up my walk in closet), the hygrometer has worked thus far, and the lock works. He also likes that he can just gaze at his cigars w/o opening it. It is very easy to season and keep the right humidity using the boveda packs (you need 4 for this size humidor). There were no instructions but it wasn't hard to figure out what goes where.

very very happy, really good quality, took some time to start it, but it's just wonderful.Shipping was very fast, and it came in 1 piece.

I purchased this humidor roughly a month ago, and I am very pleased with it. The finish is beautiful, and the construction is very solid. The humidor appears to be very well built. I enjoy the glass top so I don't have to open the top to see inside.

I did have an issue with the hygrometer not working, but I called the retailer's number and spoke with a service representative who very promptly sent me a new one (and when I opened the new hygrometer I saw they included a complimentary cigar lighter as well!)

I would definitely buy products from the company again, and I highly recommend this humidor.

The Milano Glass top Cigar Humidor is gorgeous. It is solid wood and is well constructed.

This was exactly what I was looking for in a humidor. Plenty of space, a glass top and great looks. It was exactly as promised and arrived quickly and in excellent condition. If you are looking for a nice 75-100 cigar humidor I highly recommend this one.
