Hello everyone. I don't know how old this post is as I forgot to check, but I have a question about the humidors from cheaphumidors.com. I bought one from them, and I am very satisfied with it so far.

My question however is about the construction of these humidors. The one I got seems to be made from 100% spanish cedar wood topped off with a veneer for good looks. Is this a good way to build these things for longevity? I have heard and read that one should use a hardwood, then apply a spanish cedar lining as thick as 3/8 of an inch...which I have seen.

What do you guys think about this? D oyou see any ill effects coming from building a humidor almost completely from spanish cedar? Any thoughts?

Thanks a bunch and hope I can impart some advice for others as I learn more myself. I'm even beginning a project right now to build a custom humidor from white oak with the aforementioned 3/8 thick spanish cedar or maybe even a bit thicker along with solid brass quadrant hinges etc.
