Why do humidors have cedar lining?
A – Not all humidors have cedar linings. However most of your better humidors will use cedar. Cedar is used because it retains moisture within the humidor without warping, swelling or deteriorating. Some believe that cedar also helps to enhance the aging process of a cigar. While this is true under the higher humidity and heat conditions of an aging room, it will have little or no effect in your humidor at home. A good cigar should be properly aged prior to you purchasing it.
