Frequently Asked Questions for Humidors

Q20: If mahogany and Spanish cedar are both acceptable humidor liners, why choose one over the other?


A: Spanish cedar imparts a light scent to your cigars over time; mahogany is completely neutral.

It comes down to personal taste. Some people love that cedary scent, while others prefer to let the tobacco age on its own with no wood flavors.
