How can you tell if it's Spanish cedar?

An interesting thing I learned from a woodwoker around here is that most low end humidors are not lined with actual spanish cedar, but instead a less aromatic ceder or a mohogany. Actual spanish cedar tends to go to guitar makers, because they will pay a much higher price. That's why you see spanish cedar only as a lining, not as the material for the whole humidor.

Very interesting MC. I can say that the humi I just got does have a very mild cedar smell, and the owner does insist that it is sc lined though I do not see a lining. It appears to be built of solid sc.
