Looking for Cabinet Humidor Ideas

I would be careful having a humidor made overseas. I am assuming that you are still in the middle east? You can get some nice items made over there for cheap but I would be careful of anything that requires precision and patient craftsmanship. I've bought quite a few items from clothes to furniture when I was in Bahrain in the 90's and again while deployed in Iraq. Some things are well made and a great deal. Others turned out to be junk. I'd hate to see you mess up a cabinet full of sticks because it doesn't seal correctly or the wrong wood was used. It'd be better, IMHO, to spend the money on a good well made humidor that you can trust. If I am incorrect in my assumptions then please disregard.

Your right on it, I am traveling for "business" over here right now and I am jumping all around, but I keep coming back to Bahrain. I have found one guy so far that when I walked and said "Cigar box" he replied with "Spanish Cedar" not Rosewood. His work seems to be really nice work, and he isn't really cheap. I could probably have it made cheaper in the states.
I know what you are saying cause I see it ever day with some of the guys here.
