I saw some cedar in South London Hardwoods at the weekend - not aware if it was Spanish or not. It smelled wonderful.

They only have red cedar on their website which is a nice smell but too overpowering for cigars

I'll contact them to see if they have some

cheers

Suggest you google tonewood and look for luthiers supplies. Spanish cedar is sometimes used for classical guitars.

Cheers Mike

As a cigar smoker myself :roll: if you can get hold of some old cigar boxes you can use these to line a humidor. I think you will find that most humidors are veneered with spanish cedar on the inside. If you are a smoker yourself you may even have some old boxes that you could use, or even the ideal thing is the sheets of cedar that are used to separate cigars in a box. The other idea may be to email a company like http://www.cgars.com/ who may be able to help.

Cheers, Steve

Hi Losos. I use these which I bought from cgars but I've had a quick look on their website and they don't seem to have them any more. The thing I like about them is that they take ordinary tap water - others need special solutions or distilled water.
