humi wood

im not sure either.
one thing to think about though is if youa re going to be cutting into it. If you are then that may reintroduce an unwanted smell. maybe you cant smell it because the wood is not fresh cut. There may be some smell lurking deep inside.

will it make a difference?

I would think the seasoning of the wood and adding moisture to it may bring back the strong cedar smell. Just my opinion though.

I have cedar flooring in all the closets in my house. When I first moved in I couldn't smell the cedar. After sanding it down with a belt sander it was good as new - Very strong ceder smell.

I don't know about using regular cedar for a humi. After all Spanish Cedar isn't really cedar.

Though I'm not a humidor specialist, I think that all you have to do is make sure the that the humidity stays constant and that you don't introduce anything to your cigars other than age. I would put your digital hygrometer and a humidification device... along with a "test" cigar you are familiar ... check everyday for a week you hold a humidity and after a couple of weeks see if the test cigar doesn't taste like an old coat.

I'd ask JJ on the HCF board about this - she builds humidors &
would know.

Can it be lined with spanish cedar?
