I wouldn't glue the Spanish Cedar, you want as much of the surface area exposed as possible.
What about empty cigar boxes made of Spanish Cedar. Some retailers sell them cheap or even give them away.
1/4 x 4 x 36" Spanish Cedar is $14 @ Woodcraft
Ahh...didnt even think of that. I have a TON of old cigar boxes that I boxed up in my garage somewhere. Maybe I will dig those out and use those. Great idea! Question...what is "Woodcraft"? probably a website I'm not familar with unfortunately.
Trying to talk my wife into that too. I have a walk-in closet that is currently toy storage. 57 ft with a 9 ft ceiling. All interior walls. No power though, so that'll cost. 500 cubic feet? That'd be a pretty Kick-Ass walk in
I figure I would put the tower and two wineadors right into it and then add shelving and stuff. California closet style but probably plastic. I'd also like to change the door so the entrance comes out of my hallway instead of out of my master bath. Oh now you guys have me thinking...

I didn’t get to work on it lately but I started a tower conversion. I have a bunch of slide top boxes to use. Lids fill the walls and bases will get turned into storage bins for organizing
looks like there will be alot of pissed off wives out there who want pantries or closets that will end up w/ a humidor instead, LOL. Feel free to blame me, ill take one for the BOTL team

There’s gotta be a GFI outlet in that master bath you can tap off. If you’re gonna cover the walls anyway just locate the outlet box, pop the drywall off the closet wall behind it & tap off that circuit. White to white, black to black, bare to bare. Only thing you need to check is what else is on that circuit and how many amps it all will draw. Or if there’s a light in there, just tap that light circuit at the switch and run it to an outlet for your humidifier. Easy.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
I had an outlet on the outside of my closet, when I was building out my basement I just turned it around to face inside the humidor. I also reframed the door to open into my office.
Quick update...I have no added my cigars back into my walkin, i also added some spainish cedar...man it smells fantastic! I have some more SC on the way too. Thx guys for the help!
I would not trust red cedar in a humidor. I could coat all six sides of each board with an eighth of an inch of polyurethane and I still wouldn’t trust it. Red cedar is full of natural oils and will still be curing for years to come. I don’t trust it.
I don't want to be negative. These red cedar boards are beautiful. But I felt it was best to say it, so that somebody reading this thread years from now understands that not everyone on this forum thought as long as you put sealer on it, it's going to be OK to have red cedar in a humidor.
But I do wish you luck, and I hope you guys have great results sealing the red cedar to minimize the negative consequences while still enjoying the positive aspects. I think it's a question yet to be answered. "Will this work?" Keep us posted.
Maybe buy a box of 10 cigars, keep 5 in a tupperdor and have 5 in your Precious (man alive, I don't know why Precious sounds lame, but it's yours and you do you) and smoke them on the 1st anniversary of Precious' christening, and subsequent anniversaries, and see what happens.

That site has me thinking my wife wants a pantry but a walk in humidor would be better for resale maybe? Lol

Got some spainish cedar veneers from Woodworks, man these smell good. Gonna set them in my humidor. REALLY should get it smelling really good now.
"Long ashes my friends."
Sounds like things are coming along! It's gonna be a great space.
"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." - Proverbs 27:17
yeah, the cedar veneers really add alot to it. I started on my 2nd set of shelves this last weekend.
"Long ashes my friends."
I’m doing the same thing in the new house. Lol just started it today
Same thing? You also built a walk-in humidor using the wrong kind of wood?
Nah. I’m building it with the wood I wanted to build it with

For keeping clothes in or cigars?
It will be sealed. Went with that for the looks
Ohh thank god
Well the looks and I got a good deal off someone getting rid of it.

I agree Bob, plus there could be other unforeseen consequences with humidity and such as well.
