Phillies are good deal

Speaking of yard selling..I have seen a lot of cedar chests over the years that people are trying to unload. The outsides of the chests tend to be ruff but the insides are perfect. Has anyone ever made a humidor out of an old cedar chest? Is it even a good idea?

No, as the cedar odor would leach into your cigars and then they would have a cedar taste. Spanish cedar is not actually cedar, in spite of its name. What you want to keep cigars in is a neutral wood, such as cherrywood, with cedar siding on the inside.

It's the Punch Rare Corojo of wood.
