Pine humidor

[Bad-Yeti]

Okay points taken.

How about a sealed mahogany cabinet if I line it with Thin Spanish Cedar?

Would the mahogany route work?

[nhcigarfan]

Yes, but no harder than pine. It's the glass that is an issue.

[Bad-Yeti]

Okay, why is the glass an issue?

I don't understand all this. You can keep cigars in a tupperware box or a beer cooler or old fridge without any problems.

However you cant keep them in a box made with other wood, even if you put loads of Spanish cedar in it?

Please can someone explain all this it seems far to complicated for my little brain.

If the glass is not sealed very well, it will leak and you'll have trouble maintaining your RH. Glass also allows light to enter which is not good for the cigars either.

This is true. If you still like a good glass sealed door or lid, you can keep it from facing direct light. I have glass on mine, and I've not had any problems with light. I did have to run a bead of sealant around the glass.

I should probably mention that one of my humis has glass in the lid as well. It works just fine for me.
