Red Cedar

[pahuber2]

I have heard that red cedar is inferior to Spanish cedar in storing cigars. Is this true? If so, why?

Red cedar is too aromatic and will overpower the natural cigar flavors. Stick with the Spanish cedar for storage. Spanish cedar is in the mahogany family which is mold resistant and holds the RH well. KISS is a perfect rule here, don't re-invent the wheel.

would you buy cigars from a shop has red cedar in their walk-in?

No. I dont think I would be would be very suprised to see a B&M make that mistake.

Might look like red cedar, if it is I would be concerned. Thought a large walk-in type humidor I would not know what to think.
