Description
Cigar-box Cedar – Cedrela Odorata
What It Is
Commonly called Cigar-box Cedar and scientifically known as Cedrela Odorata, this timber is famous for its use in making cigar boxes and humidors. Valued for its warm aroma and natural beauty, it has been a favourite of craftsmen for decades.
Key Qualities and Uses
Naturally resistant to insects and rot, this wood is perfect for many projects. Makers often choose it for clothes storage, fine cabinetry, and guitar building. It works easily with hand and machine tools and produces a smooth, low-sheen finish that enhances its rich colour and subtle grain.
Why Woodworkers Love It

Lightweight yet durable.
-
Pleasant, distinctive aroma.
-
Stable and easy to shape, sand, or finish.
Size and Availability
-
As a natural product, grain and colour will vary.
-

-
Choose a size slightly larger than you need—it’s always easier to trim down than to add stock later.
