    Just be aware. Some of GagetBestBuy's humidors are not cedar lined. If it doesn't specifically say "Cedar Lined" then it probably isn't. I've read reviews of his stuff where they said that there were cedar drawers only, but the humidor itself was not lined with cedar.

    I just checked one of his auctions. This is the kind of stuff to watch out for:

    "Lined with Kiln Dried Cedar Divider"

    The DIVIDER is cedar, not the humidor.

    "In order to provide savings for our customers and get the same value, portions of our humidor interior are made of cedar wood. "

    PORTIONS of the humidor, not the entire inside lining.


    "Once the humidor is closed everything inside is sealed. The cedar smell will remain in the box giving positive effect on the flavor of your cigars. Therefore there is no need to make the inside of the humidor completely of cedar."

    Some would disagree with that. The other benefit of cedar is that it helps control the humidity by absorbing moisture.

    "If you research cigar humidors, there is no 100% cedar humidors."

    Actually, Cuban Crafters does makes some of their humidors out of 100% cedar and then they laminate a veneer on the outside. I know because I have one. The statement should say MOST humidors are not 100% cedar. And that's because they're not suppose to be. They're suppose to be made of a pretty hardwood and then 100% lined with Spanish cedar (NOT aromatic cedar. Spanish cedar is actually a type of mahogany.)

    If you're cool with that then go ahead and get it. Other than that they appear to be decent humidors and as long as they seal well then everything is OK. But if you want a fully cedar lined humidor then just be aware of the fine print.

    This is the humidor that I bought from him. DO NOT BUY HUMIDORS FROM GADGETBESTBUY. Not only is the humidor not cedat, the divider i got isnt even cedar. Also, the two draws on the bottom are so loose, that it does not hold the appropiate RH. Also, he charges and arm and a leg for shipping. For mine, it was $26.00 but other can go as high as $35.00

    I dont need that much room for shiut, so what i did is i used weather stripping on the drawers to get it air tight, so at least it works now.

    I got the same exact humidor off e-bay from the same guy. I took some cedar from boxes and put it in there and will be using the drawers for misc. stuff. Seems to be holding RH pretty well so far.
