Crafting Unique Pieces
At Majesty Woodworks, we specialize in bespoke furnishings, including handcrafted humidor cigar boxes. Every piece we create reflects our dedication to craftsmanship and quality. For example, each of our custom built boxes is crafted from domestic or imported hardwoods, and each humidor is lined with 1/4″ Spanish Cedar. Our artisan utilizes both hand tools and power tools, ensuring each humidor is a unique masterpiece and built with precision.
Clients appreciate our collaborative approach. We listen to their visions and share our expertise to bring their ideas to life. Further, clients are regularly updated with photographs throughout the build process. This way, they can more easily envision their masterpiece taking shape. No spoiler photos unless the client specifically requests them.
The Art of Humidor Design
Our humidors feature various premium hardwoods, like walnut, oak, cherry, and curly maple. Each material brings its distinct charm, enhancing the beauty of the final product. In addition to several other options we present to our clients, they also have the option to choose highly figured wood or “clear” wood for their lid tops. Every handcrafted humidor cigar box is unique, and one-of-a-kind.
Character vs Uniformity
Figured Wood
Wood that is “figured” refers to lumber or veneer that exhibits unique and attractive visual patterns or grains. Likewise, these beautiful patterns add depth to the piece, and can emerge due to various factors. Some of those factors include the growth conditions of the tree, its species, and specific characteristics within the wood itself. Craftsmen highly seek out figured wood due to its beauty, distinctiveness, and character. Moreover, figured woods are a premium choice for clients who are looking for a statement piece or a conversation starter.
Clear Wood
Comparatively, the term “clear wood” refers to a type of lumber that is free from defects such as knots, splits, and other imperfections. We love clear wood for its smooth surface and consistent, and uniform grain patterns. Overall, clear wood is valued for its aesthetic qualities and structural integrity. Further, those who are looking for an elegant, but simplistic design typically choose clear hardwoods.
Custom Joinery Methods for Humidor Cigar Boxes
Traditional Mitre Splines
At Majesty Woodworks, we tailor every detail of our handcrafted humidor cigar boxes to suit our clients’ preferences—including the joinery techniques. For those who appreciate classic craftsmanship, we offer the option to incorporate traditional methods. For example, many of our humidor boxes showcase elegant mitre splines that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. These splines, often crafted from contrasting wood species, add visual depth while also reinforcing the structure of the box.
To enhance both style and durability, we frequently use premium hardwoods such as Bubinga, Purpleheart, Jatoba, and many others for these traditional wooden splines. Of course, client input is central to every decision. We present a variety of options, and our clients have the freedom to choose what best fits their taste and vision.
Modern Enhancements with Metal Splines
For those seeking a bold, contemporary touch, we also offer custom-milled aluminum or brass splines. These sleek metal accents not only increase structural stability but also elevate the design with a luxurious modern flair. In fact, incorporating brass or aluminum into your handcrafted humidor cigar box adds a refined, high-end appeal that commands attention.
Moreover, if you’re searching for a true showpiece or a conversation starter, real metal splines are an ideal choice. They introduce a distinctive and eye-catching element that highlights both exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design.
Hand-cut Dovetails
Meanwhile, other handcrafted humidor cigar boxes feature intricate hand-cut dovetail joinery. This craftsmanship not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures durability. At Majesty Woodworks, we pride ourselves on the skill needed for hand-tool woodworking. All dovetail joints in our handcrafted humidor cigar boxes are sawn and shaped by hand with precision. Further, you won’t find any routers, CNC’s, lasers, or other machines used to craft our dovetail joints. Moreover, the only tools we use for this process are handsaws, hand planes, chisels, and a few marking gauges.
Our hand-cut dovetails offer a classic look which impart a feeling of prestige. If you’re looking for a piece that reflects true craftsmanship, look no further than our hand-cut dovetails.

Special Add-On's
At Majesty Woodworks, our handcrafted humidor cigar boxes frequently feature custom Boveda pack holders. However, depending on each client’s unique preferences, we can also integrate more compact humidification systems either instead of—or alongside—Boveda packs. Notably, Boveda is widely recognized as the industry leader in two-way humidity control. Therefore, using their system helps maintain ideal humidity levels, which in turn keeps your cigars fresh and full of flavor.
Because we prioritize both beauty and performance, we carefully design every handcrafted humidor cigar box with functionality in mind. Consequently, these custom holders not only enhance the interior but also preserve the integrity of your cigar collection.

Additionally, each humidor can include custom-built trays made from Spanish cedar. The aroma of Spanish cedar complements the stored cigars, preserving their flavor. Similarly, we design custom dividers to keep your cigars organized. To ensure a perfect compression fit, each divider is tipped with black felt or leather. This thoughtful layout allows for easy access and enjoyment. Furthermore, the dividers assist in preventing cross-flavoring between cigars.
Personalized Touches and Custom Finishes
Clients often request personalized finishing touches. We offer custom milled finger pull finishes in brass or aluminum. These details enhance usability and appeal. Additionally, our quadrant hinges which are available in brass or silver zinc, guarantee smooth operation. Moreover, these beautiful hinges provide elegance and luxury for our cigar enthusiasts. We want every aspect of the humidor to reflect premium quality, timeless craftsmanship.
Furthermore, Majesty Woodworks also offers custom name plates in a variety of color choices and styles.
