Chances are that if you bought the humidor from Thompsons, despite all their other faults, it is most likely spanish cedar lined.

Here's a photo of what the grain of SC looks like

The wood glues you have to worry about are those with a petroleum solvent type smell, if you don't smell petroleum solvents, then it's not that or they are already dried and not an issue.

When you get a chance, please head over to the introductions and tell us a bit about yourself.
