Not Spanish Cedar
Your post clearly indicates that your "humidor" is not lined with Spanish Cedar. My understanding about "regular" cedar and Spanish Cedar is that the Spanish variety is less aromatic and that is why other varieties are commonly called "Aromatic Cedar".
Aromatic cedar is commonly used in chests, closet accessories and shoe trees. Besides the pleasant aroma it gives off it also deters moths from invading ones wardrobe.
From my understanding the cedar wraps on cigars and in ones humidore whould not inpart an overpowering cedar flavor. You may get a hint of cedar in properly stored cigars.
I would definately return the "humidor" and get your money back. How much did you pay? Cheaphumidors.com has great deals - thats where I got mine. I love it.
