I realized that it's been a while since I brazenly displayed my ignorance, so I correct that with this question:
I've read on several forum boards as well as informational web sites about using regular or red cedar planks in a tupperdor or coolidor. All I can find are admonishments to NOT use it but never why. One article alluded to the fact that regular cedar is highly aromatic and may over-infuse cigars with a cedar smell.
However, a couple of sites contradicted the "never use regular cedar" and just warned that some people find the aroma too strong.
So, first of all, yes, I am using Spanish cedar. But can anyone tell me why I shouldn't use the red cedar? Is it just because of the aromatics in that wood?
Thanks brothers!
