🪵 Glossy burr wood & Spanish cedar — aesthetics and preservation combined
The glossy burr wood veneer is obtained from areas of abnormal wood growth — knots, excrescences — that produce unique swirling grains. The glossy varnish applied to this veneer gives it changing reflections depending on the light, in warm brown tones that evoke exceptional wood paneling. It is the same register of precious material found in large collector's humidors and prestigious cabinetry furniture.
Inside, Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata) ensures active preservation. Its natural hygroscopic properties regulate humidity by absorbing excess and releasing it according to ambient conditions. Its aromatic terpenes gradually enrich the vitolas. Cedar protects against the tobacco beetle. The removable cedar divider organizes the collection while participating in this regulation.

Glossy burr & glass — the duo that displays and preserves
The Prince Arthur Deluxe doesn't choose between aesthetics and functionality. The glossy burr wood veneer in warm brown tones gives it the immediate visual presence of prestigious objects — swirling grains, changing reflections, gilded hardware on all metal parts.
The glass top lid adds the dimension of display: the collection is visible from the outside without ever opening the humidor. Placed on a sideboard or desk, the Prince Arthur Deluxe is as much a display piece as it is a preservation humidor — an object to arrange, show off, and take care of.
Setup — 4 steps
1
Seasoning (24 to 48 h): before the first loading, place a container of distilled water in the closed humidor with the divider in place. The new cedar will absorb and stabilize — without this step, it would absorb humidity from your cigars upon opening.
2
Humidifier filling: the humidifier is integrated into the inner lid. Open, remove it, and fill it with distilled water only — never tap water. Wipe off any excess before putting it back in place.
3
Organization with the divider: position the removable cedar divider to divide the compartment — different brands, distinct formats, or separated aromatic profiles. Remove it for long formats (Churchill, Torpedo).
4
Double monitoring: check the glass top for visual organization, and the analog hygrometer in the inner lid with each opening. Target range: 65–72%. Refill the humidifier as soon as the reading drops below 65%.

Burr wood — each piece is unique: the burr wood veneer is obtained from areas of abnormal tree growth — knots, excrescences, bifurcations. Each burr piece presents a unique swirling grain pattern. The Prince Arthur Deluxe you receive is therefore, in this precise sense, a unique object — no other copy will have exactly the same grain pattern.
Seasoning with divider in place: during the initial 24 to 48-hour seasoning, leave the removable cedar divider in position in the box. Its cedar surface contributes to the homogeneous humidification of the interior volume. Once stabilized, it plays its role as a complementary regulator in addition to its organizational role — double benefit for preservation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the exterior finish of the Prince Arthur Deluxe?
The exterior of the Prince Arthur Deluxe is covered with a glossy burr wood veneer in warm brown tones. Burr is a wood with swirling grains obtained from areas of abnormal growth — each piece has a unique pattern. The glossy varnish applied to this veneer gives it changing reflections depending on the light. The hardware — massive hinges, latch, and lock — is entirely gilded, coordinated on all metal parts.
Why perform seasoning before the first loading?
New Spanish cedar is naturally dry and hygroscopic. Without prior seasoning, it would massively absorb humidity from your cigars upon the first loading, drying them out in a few days. Seasoning involves placing a container of distilled water in the closed humidor for 24 to 48 hours — with the divider in place to maximize the humidified surface. Stabilized cedar becomes a natural regulator rather than a competitor to the humidifier.
Where are the hygrometer and humidifier located?
The analog hygrometer and humidifier are both integrated into the inner surface of the lid — accessible and visible with each opening. The hygrometer can be read without additional manipulation. The humidifier is removed from the lid to be refilled with distilled water only, then replaced in position. This lid placement optimizes humidity diffusion downwards, over all the cigars.
Does the glass top preserve humidity well?
Yes — the glass is positioned on top of the lid and allows you to admire the collection without opening it, thus preserving the accumulated internal humidity. Combine visual consultation through the glass with reading the hygrometer during openings for minimal control of unnecessary openings. If the humidity level regularly drops despite a refilled humidifier, check the condition of the peripheral seal of the glass.
What is the removable cedar divider for?
The removable cedar divider splits the compartment into two zones to separate brands, sizes, or aromatic profiles. Its cedar surface also helps with hygroscopic regulation — it absorbs excess moisture and releases it. Keep it in place during initial seasoning. Remove it for long formats (Churchill, Torpedo) or to maximize capacity for standard sizes.
How do I care for the glossy burr veneer?
The glossy finish of the burr veneer easily shows fingerprints. Clean with a soft microfiber cloth — dry to remove smudges, slightly damp for a thorough cleaning. Never use abrasive products or paper towels. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which discolors the veneer and alters the varnish. The gold hardware should be cleaned with a dry microfiber cloth.
Is the Prince Arthur Deluxe a good gift for a cigar lover?
The Prince Arthur Deluxe is one of the most elegant cigar gift ideas: glossy burr wood veneer with unique grains, full gold hardware, glass top lid, Spanish cedar with removable divider, analog hygrometer and humidifier integrated into the lid — 50 cigars, 40 × 25 × 13 cm, 3 kg. A cigar cabinet that is as much for display as it is for use. Paired with a torch lighter and a cigar cutter, it makes a complete prestigious cigar gift set.
