you may be smoking too fast for the corona to handle well. as i have said in other threads, the corona size has a learning curve to it. just dont get discouraged.
I agree with kuz here too. But if you only have 8 cigars in a cooler and you're not using active humidifaction, you're going to have problems.
i love it when a good solution is "buy more cigars"
I did add a tray just in case.
I'm working on it getting more sticks, haha. This is my first corona in a long time. I generally wait 30-60 seconds between puffs for the first half, then longer in the second half. Additionally, it was first my stick in probably 2 months so maybe that had something to play too.

No man the issue here is if you aren't using an active humification system, like a cigar oasis, you need to be 75% full at minimum for proper humidification of the smokes. If you only have 8 cigars in there switch to a small tupperware container until you have enough cigars to be 75% full in that cooler.
+1...don't just lay them against the plastic of the cooler. Use boxes or cedar trays to hold the sticks. From the flavor profile you reference....that doesn't sound like a humidity issue.
Well the one I bought has a drain plug. TBH, I don't know if it should or shouldn't be left open so that the air was exchanged/new everyday. I was stating it in case it was a tidbit that would help.
I have to disagree with the statement about your cooler needing to be 75% full of cigars. I don't know where that number came from, but if your cooler is held at a proper 65 to 70% rh, proper temp, and has a good amount of spanish cedar to absorb any random humidity spikes or drops, the amount of cigars in your cooler makes no difference whatsoever. If you're using beads for humidity, they should maintain that proper rh.

Yes, the beads and cedar will be enough to hold humidity. Cigars are yet another thing to hold humidity so with more cigars in there it will be easier to hold a certain RH and faster to recover from opening the lid but not necessary.
