On this past Saturday, Ed Sallee talked about building humidors for storing cigars. The function of a humidor is to maintain a humidity of 65-70% to keep the cigars from drying out. A humidor is basically a cedar lined box but it must be relatively air tight to maintain the correct humidity inside. Most humidors are lined with spanish cedar which is fairly dimensionally stable under these conditions. Even though Ed has only been doing this for a little over two years, he has developed a national reputation for his humidors. Ed gets orders from all over the US, Canada and has had some shipped overseas.
