Can spanish cedar be to thick?

sane

I was going to sit down and make my own Humidor but I have come across a problem, the local shops only sell Spanish Cedar in 5/8th" and most Humidor's that I see run the cedar at about 1/8th". I can't think of any reason that a thick cedar wall would affect the cigars but I wanted to ask and see if any of you can think of a reason a 5/8th" wall would effect them?

I agree with the others, but let me also say that your seasoning time is likely going to be a lot longer, as you're trying to bring a lot more wood up to the proper humidity. The great news is that, once seasoned, it should do an excellent job of holding steady.

Thanks, I didn't think about that.
