Wood humidor construction questions

Wharf Rat · 11-07-2022, 07:57 AM

I once bought a lovely solid wood humidor from an artisan. Really pretty, with a land scape hand-painted on top. Within a few months, the top had visibly warped and it was useless as a humidor. If you think about it, trying to maintain a moist environment in a wooden box is questionable. The only wooden humidor I ever had any luck with was a cheap Chinese one made of veneered particle board.

If I was going to build my own wood cigar storage, I’d build a box that I could put plastic box(es) inside of.
