Agreed, neither do I. It was the choice of the client. It can be made in any stone. I would personally choose something like black onyx stone.

In the case of this green stone, the only mine in the world that had it closed down temporarily for couple years, resulting in an exponential price increase of the stone.

Not my taste, but DER makes some good humidors. They use mahogany instead of spanish cedar.... anyone know why?

I can appreciate the craftsmanship and everything that goes into it, but I think their humidors are ugly

Zach - Where did you read that? As far as I know Der Humidor uses spanish cedar and Davidoff uses non-aromatic mahogany. Technically, spanish cedar is a mahogany.

I translated this link: CENTURY-Centurion - DER HUMIDOR

"Tablett aus massivem, fingergezinkten Mahagoni (hier keine Spanische Zeder, da bei einem möglichen Ausharzen des Holzes die Zigarren am Tablett festkleben würden), mit vernünftigen Griffen."

I have heard that their trays are all mahogany, but are their humidor linings mahogany as well? Can you "technically" mix the two woods?

I think its an awesome creation, but the color....

I'm just imagining the other colors on/around that desk

I would of went with another color stone also, but its not that bad at the end of the day. To each his own ! My father would love it !
