K, figures.
Had been wondering for my micro-images of using the screen res as a scale.
Brent Beach has used pixel count as a measure of wear on plane blades. Not sure how he does it.Cheers, Ern

Michael stated that that is a 12" ruler laying there next to the wood. I just estimated the slat widths to arrive at a 6" diameter and 12+" height. Don't need no stinkin' pixels.

No pixels for me either. I just held an engineers' scale against the screen to measure 5" for the wood and 3.35" for the ruler. 12"/3.35" = 3.58; x 5" = 17.9"; / 3.1416 = 5.7"
A metric version would be 129mm and 84mm (on screen). So, 305/84 = 3.63; x 129 = 468mm; / 3.1416 = 149mm (~5.87" - close enough).
The length of the sticks is much longer than needed for cigars, so there's plenty for the top and bottom.

It seems that Spanish Cedar , is not actually a cedar , nor is it from Spain
The Tree: Cedrela Fissilis Family
This from Wiki , which may account for it's use ;
Spanish-cedar wood can repel tobacco beetles. These pinhead-sized beetles can ruin entire stocks of cigars. They eat the tobacco and lay eggs, causing further infestation. They can also be discouraged by ensuring the humidor does not get hotter than 20°C (68°F).<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-0>[1]</SUP> The beetle eggs usually only hatch at around 25°C (77°F), although there are also instances where they will hatch at cooler temperatures if the humidity is too high.

Hmm, interesting.
And apparently good cigars are like good wine: ageing improves them.Cheers, Ern
