Question on Cigar Jar / Credo

[mauied1101]

Quick couple of questions for anyone...

You are looking at a what was my first humi - marble cigar jar. Got it...10 years ago(?). Anyhow, questions are:

1. What do I do with it? Seal is good but I think the cedar partition inside is aromatic cedar - not spanish. Yup, I can take the cedar out when it dries...

2. Credo - it leaks black fluid which you can see on the wood. What is the black stuff? (Yup, distilled water in, nope - no black food coloring added).

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
