Does this look like pine or spanish cedar inside for the main 4 walls? Can spanish cedar look this light?

(look at the last picture)

Set it on fire - if it crackles and pops - it's pine (unless someone is having rice crispies)

It's MDF with an extremely thin veneer of (maybe) cedar.

I tried to make these cheap China humidors work many years ago. I would silicone in a piece of plexiglas on the bottom, because the bottom is only 1/8" thick pressboard. Essentially open to air.

The lid I would pull off all the slats, apply glue, and use small screws to reattach to the lid, and then seal the corners. Glasstops I pulled everything off and glued the glass in place.

In the bottom I left some as is, others I put in proper Spanish Cedar. Didn't seem to make a difference either way though.

They performed much better than as they came, but not as good as a proper wood desktop humidor. ultimately dropped several hundred on a quality one and have been using it for years.

Most of my cigars though, are stored in a cedar lined Pelican case with a ton of Boveda packs and 2lbs of heartfelt beads. The desktop needs a lot more maintenance, about every 2 months I need to rotate the Bovedas out for rehydration. The pelican case gets water added maybe once a year.

If you really want a pretty display piece, spend $6-800 on a quality piece. Or run the cheapos with a couple weeks worth of smokes, but don't rely on it for storage. For longer term storage it's hard to find an argument against watertight box like an ammo can or a Pelican case or similar while running proper 2 way humidification systems.
