Why do some cigar boxes have a block of wood inside them?
When you buy cigar by the box, you might have noticed that some of them have a block of wood inside. This wood is usually made of Spanish cedar and is used as a spacer to keep the rows of cigars even. But that’s not their only purpose. This block of wood also helps keep the cigars fresh and give the cigars its cedar fragrance that can be acquired as the cigars age. Collectors can also use this block of wood by placing them in humidors to help keep the cigars smelling fresh.
