Cedar boards

[nhcigarfan]

Some where on the site is a thread about Spanish cedar and where to buy it, decent price per board foot if I remember correctly.

The odor of other cedars has a lot to do with using Spanish cedar

Do not use the red cedar meant for lining closets, trust me. It smells great for closets, but you don't want to use it in a small confined area with cigars, it'll make you ill.
I made some racks for cigar boxes out of the everyday cedar found in wood section, and it works good in my case. Don't know if you want to use a large amount of it, as it does still give off a heavy non spanish cedar odor, not nearly overwhelming as the aromatic though.

No need to put any addition cedar into the cooler.... grab a couple of empty boxes from your local B&M, that will be plenty.

As for shelves... I used that wire shelf stuff you find at Home Depot or Lowes.... it can be cut down and also lets air circulate

oh snap.... coolidor? i missed that, yeah, just put your sticks in old cigar boxes if you really have to have the wood... thats all i do.

Yeah, I just got a bunch of old cedar boxes from my local B&M.

If you really need Spanish Cedar boards though, I usually go here if I can't find it at a local lumber yard:

They also have mahogany if you prefer.

Thanks all...

I have about 6 old boxes in there now, and humidity recovers pretty fast after opening, so I think I'm ok.

I may be ordering some boards for an upcoming project though
