What do you guys think of these two? They both say that it is "lined with spanish cedar." Would that be sufficient or would I want something that is more like spanish cedar lined with an exterior?

I found one that is identical to one of the above at http://www.cheaphumidors.com/Merchan...NITUREHUMIDORS

Hi Dimitri

The two humidors you show from eBay are fine from what I can see. They are SOLID cedar with a rosewood burl FINISH. By finish they mean a photo laminate. It's actually a picture of rosewood burl grain laminated to the surface of the cedar. THAT'S OK. The majority of humidors you see today are made the same way.

If it were a real rosewood burl outer box lined with spanish cedar you'd have to pay about two thousand dollars if not more for a humidor like that.

As I said in my older posting, using photo laminates over solid cedar makes for a very affordable and a very attractive humidor.

Go for it!

Although.......the one with the fancy folding trays? Stay away from that one. I bet you that the hinges in it are just brass plated steel and over time the humidity in the humidor is going to make them look like crap. Between the two, I would pick the one with the legs.

I've heard some good things about CheapHumidors.com. They seem to have a lot of good deals. But check around for a little while before you make up your mind.
