Home made humidors

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone has made their own ammo box humidor? I have aquired the attached ammo box which I intend to line with cedar and put a 2nd layer in there.


It has a really good rubber seal on it so its nice and airtight.
Is there a specific type of cedar I should line it with?

Now that's a great idea, will be interested to see how it works out!

It's Spanish ceader you want, which isn't actually ceader as I understand it. Old cigar boxes are one way to get it, cgars sell them for not a lot.

Awesome cgars looks like the cheaper option. I shall keep you all updated.

Temperature fluctuations may be be a tad extreme with that, old chap.

Even if I insulate by using thicker wood?

What about residual smells?

Do you mean Cordite Si?

This might help. Spanish Cedar isn't easy to get in the UK, but rosewood and mahogany are just as good.

How many (empty) boxes would you need? I might have a couple of spares that you can have.
