I'm sure someone else will say this better than I can; there is a big difference in Cedar and Spanish cedar. The stuff you put in your closet to keep moths at bay is not the same as Spanish cedar!!!

They are from entirely different families!!!

The wood is often sold under the name "Spanish-cedar" (like many trade names, confusing as it is neither Spanish nor a cedar), and is the traditional wood used for making cigar boxes, as well as being used for general outdoor and construction work, panelling and veneer wood.
