New humidor cedar smell question

[JStrider]

hey guys finally got my first real humidor... been using a tupperdor for the past year and a half.

It looks nice, but it seems to smell of cedar a lot more strongly then I expected, this is my first real humidor so I'm not sure if this is normal. I thought the cedar smell was supposed to be very faint.

the humidors description says its spanish cedar.

maybe I need to leave it open to air out for a few days?

It will reduce over time, and will get covered up by the smell of the cigars but it will always be there.

thanks, I was just expecting more of a muted, almost not there cedar smell.

I'll go ahead and prep it and load up my cigars

I just got that humi also, I had already filled up my 50 count (yeah right) humi. I really like it so far.

Of all the humis I've owned, only one had what I would call, an overpowering cedar smell to it, so much that I questioned if it was the real deal. I put some bundled cigars in there and I gotta say that the smell married with the smokes, it wasnt pretty. After that I emptied the humi and let it air out for a few weeks, until the odor died down. It works great now!

If the smell is what you think is overpowering, I recommend letting it air out for a few weeks first. Just my $.02.
