cheaphumidors.com purchases??

[TomHagen]

I am getting in on this discussion late, but I have had a constant question nagging me...

Do these humidors (at cheap humidors.com et. al) have spanish cedar veneer or solid pieces??

It is very hard to tell the difference unless you really disect the wood. I have refurbished a few humi's in the last year and have found many (most) mass-produced humi's only use a very thin sheet of spanish cedar covering all sides of the interior. These were NOT fake humi's, but nicely appointed, yet "made in china" average variety humis - nice seals etc.

My second question, where can one find inexpensive humi's/cabinets, with solid thicker (ex. 1/4 inch cedar) without this veneer garbage??

here is an example of a humi I refurb'ed... all veneer, great seal, good aroma etc...





gave this to a friend who really digs it.

My personal desktop has solid cedar 'planks' inserted all around the bottom, and the top about
3/8th inch thick, with solid cedar top & bottom.
