I posted pics of my small but growing collection in the cigar P0RN section and Budda Bill noticed the cedar chest I was using to put my sticks on to take pics. He eluded that it could possibly be used for storage. Of course that one is the wife's and could not touch it with a ten foot fishing rod!
His observation did prompt a question about using cedar lined chests (not spanish cedar) to store boxes and/or other sticks in? Of course humidity would need to be controlled with available products but am curious if this would work. I looked on Craigslist today and there are some sweet deals, can pick up a nice chest for >$200.
What do the experts think, is this an option?

Aromatic ceder is not good for storing cigars, I would never recommend this. Spanish ceder is not even real ceder, it is a mahogany.

Yeah & that's not to mention that you need a very good seal on it.

If the chest is just lined with cedar I dont know why you just couldnt remove the cedar and replace it with spanish cedar ...But only if it is just lined ....If everything is aromatic cedar I wouldnt even mess with it .....

Thought it might be a low cost alternative to the higher priced humi's out there but sounds like it would be a lot of work and the wife already has a list that will take ten years to finish!
The light is now out BuddhaBill 
Or you could take the chest & find a nice size tupperware that fits inside & use it as the humidor.
