    "ok I'll write in French!

    I want to know if the cedar that can be bought in BMR may be the case. It's cedar is white and not red.

    Is it mandatory to have a double layer if my humidor measure 1 inch thick.

    All these questions are to make my own humidor and it does not spoil my cigars.

    thank you

    I've been gathering that there's a kind of language barrier here so, call me festive:

    Spanish cedar buffers humidity very well. It holds moisture well compared to the carcass that you would be building (out of any wood your heart desires). It is also aromatic, and some might suggest that it helps your cigars age, should you be keeping them for long term storage.

    On the other hand, most of the low to mid grade line humidors for sale, are not made of solid Spanish cedar. They are usually some sort of MSD or pressboard (I think) and they are veneered with some decorative wood on the outside (aesthetics) and Spanish cedar veneer on the inside (aromatic.) They're not double layered.

    You still have to use a humidification device to keep the box relatively moist. Don't forget to setup your humidor by seasoning it.

    All this said, and tying together your quest for low cost cigar storage, again, go with a tupperdore / coolerdor, especially since time seems to be of the essence for you. Get some humidity beads and a digital hydrometer.

    I've bolded some SEARCH terms for you.
