hahaha... well, depending on who you ask it either is or it isn't.

In my humble experience, on my less than expert taste buds, I feel that the Spanish cedar imparts a subtle flavor note to the sticks as they age... This being more noticeable after the sticks have spent many months to a couple of years in the humi...

The actual reason cedar is used is because insects hate it. the reason SPANISH cedar is used is because it does not impart such a strong woody flavor....

As for your concerns about the thickness of your Spanish cedar, If it is actually a 1/4" thick then that is GREAT! I had a humidor built for me and went the extra mile to get 3/8" spanish cedar to line mine (cost a small fortune because of the retailer I got it from, lesson learned)...
