I also vote for mahogany....it has perhaps better characteristics for cigars than the vaunted spanish cedar.
I have said it too many times here, but my opusx box is the best re-purposed cigar box that I own. It was a double
corona box so it fits all the long, slim panatelas I store in there and keeps them absolutely perfect in condition.
Best box I use for long term storage BY FAR. And while I don't know what they do THESE DAYS, they used
hondiran mahogany for their boxes in those days when the Opus was a new cigar.
