Gentlemen:

I bought the above humidor, and despite being very well built am concerned that the only part of it that is Spanish cedar is a thin lining about 1/4". Although the walls of the humidor are very sturdy and about 3/4" thick, why else would they line its inner surfaces with the thin strip of Spanish cedar if they themselves were Spanish cedar.

The specs for the humidor state:

Cigar Capacity: 175 Cigars
Spanish Cedar lined
Cigar Humidifier
Analog Hygrometer
Airflow Grate

If only the lining is Spanish cedar, I fear that the humidity stabilization that Spanish cedar affords will be compromised, and the enclosure will be less effective in maintaining the proper humidity.

What say you?
