    But then when you go to their website, it's the same cookie-cutter humidors that everyone else is selling.

    I wish I had temporary access to a thickness planer and a jointer.

    Just got my Cuban Crafters humidor with their 15 stick sampler package.

    The humidor looks nice. I don't think it's lined with cedar. It looks like the whole thing is made of cedar and has a a cherry veneer laminated onto the outside.

    The salt test showed the hygrometer to be dead on at 75%. I lightly wiped down the inside of the humidor with distilled water and primed the humidifier with CC's humidor primer liquid (50%-50% water and glycol) and it seems to be holding at 65% humidity.

    It looks great, The craftsmanship is nothing to write home about but it's a tight box. I can feel the cedar in the lid meshing with the base every time I close it. So far so good.

    Now about those smokes. It may just be my newbie pallete but every one of them looks and smells the same. It will be interesting to try a couple and see if I can tell any significant difference between them..
