    Humidors have one major function: keeping the correct relative humidity consistently. To this end, it must have a good seal. Spanish Cedar is often used as a liner as it can hold and release moisture with minimal warping.

    Looks like you'll have two potential issues. One would be a seal to keep in the moisture. The second would be keeping the 70% rH locked up inside of a metal container (i.e. potential for rust).

    Otherwise it sounds like a grand idea!

    I've seen a few metal lined humidors at antique stores and online from estate sales.
    Kinda like these

    Never used one myself, so I can't say if it works or doesn't work. But it doesn't seem too uncommon to have a metal lined humidor.

    I suppose that's pretty dependent upon what kind of metal is used to line the humidor. Something that does not corrode would be awfully nice!!!

    I love old stuff. I've look at some vintage Dunhill humidors that are metal lined. They were in ruff condition so I never pulled the trigger. I love vintage tobacco , but I'm not so good with the reconditioning. I tend to get pissed and brake things ( bad Irish temper).
    It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.
