What Size Trays for my Desktop Humidor?

For those that missed my previous post, I like making things from wood and I'm getting closer to finishing the "all" Spanish cedar humidor (minus the zebra wood veneer and cocobolo top).

Ultimately, a desktop humidor will not hold very many cigars, but the ones it does hold, I would like to easily access. So I'm thinking of single row trays. This first photo show a nearly finished tray with cigars. The rough box below I plan to cut apart with my table saw to make three more single row trays.

Any thoughts on how minimize the rummaging for cigars inside a humidor? Eventually, I plan to make an end table humidor and maybe the way to go is drawers.

For fun, the next photos shows the cocobolo top - The woods used for a humidor imparts a subtle, but distinct smell to the cigars. In the case of cocobolo, it's a nice cinnamon smell.

This is not an endeavor to save time or money. The image below shows a Brusso quadrant hinge, expensive and difficult to install:

Well, I can't offer advice on building the humi...looks like you're doing a fantastic job!

As for minimizing rummaging, do this:

Get a box, address it to Trey Sm....

Wait. Disregard. You meant you want to KEEP them and not rummage around for them. Got it. My mistake. :whistling: :laugh:
