I made three desktop humidors, one for me and the others for my two best friends who live in Iowa. This one is mine, it's made with a 1/4" thick Lacewood veneer and 1/2" Spanish Cedar interior. The top was made of a 1/2" thick piece of MDF with cigar bands placed on one by one by my wife and I. This was no small task! Then a two part epoxy bar coat was used to seal the bands down.
