Spanish cedar or Mahogany

[StonyVision]

Well i plan on making a humidor and ive seen several posts on the fact that any good humidor is made from spanish cedar but ive also seen a select few that are made from Mahogany? Dose any one know if its a good wood to use as opposed to the spanish cedar?

Stick with Spanish cedar for the lining :sign:

The mahogany has to be in reference to the exterior.

Honduran mahogany is perfectly exceptable to use in building a humidor. If you are building a large one I would recommend using Honduran mahogany plywood to line the inside and Spanish cedar for the shelves. All Spanish Cedar would be overbearing. The Honduran mahogany works excellent and has a bit milder aroma.

I'm somewhat amazed at the suggestions from those that are steering you away from mahogany. Almost all cigar cabinet builders use Honduran mahogany.

Here's a pic of mine before staining and adding the front facing....... everything you see is Honduran mahogany.

nope... cedar adds a scent/flavor to cigars, mahogany is neutral. All depends on what you like.
