Building a Humidor, anything I should know?
I already know that Humidors are usually constructed with a Spanish Ceder veneer on the inside or Mahogany veneer.
I am planning on building one just big enough for 20-30 cigars. I will be constructing it with the aid of my Uncle who has been doing this sort of thing for 40+ years, I myself have been doing some cabinetry and other constructed for at least 5 years.
Can I just build the whole thing out of Ceder? I don’t think Spanish ceder will be available to me at the local home depot.
What is this going to cost me for materials?
I am basically aware of everything Wikipedia has to say on the subject of Humidors.
But Wikipedia lacks personal experience.
Build it out of Mahogany and line it with Spanish Cedar (which is a form of mahogany) – but NOT veneer. Use at least 1/4″ thick SC.
You will not find Spanish Cedar at THD but at a specialty lumber shop – most likely online, and it is quite expensive.
Humidors are not airtight – the rule of thumb for a good closure is the dollar bill test. Place a dollar bill on the edge and close the lid. You should be able to just be able to pull the bill out in a smooth motion without any grabbing and it shouldn’t be too removed too loosely.
