Ceiba PentandraAlso known as: Kapok, Java cotton, silk cotton, samauma
Here is a deciduous tree that has the potential to become extremely large, reaching a height of over 200 feet, but more on an average of 30-100 feet. The straight, cylindrical bole can be 40-120 inches in diameter, is usually spiny, and have massive attractive buttresses.
It is native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, northern South America, and tropical west Africa. A very sacred, multipurpose tree with a wide range of uses for the local population. It is especially valued for its silky cotton fiber that is produced within its fruit, but also supplies foods, medicines and many other commodities. It has become naturalized in many other parts of the tropical world as an amazing ornamental and often grown as a bonsai.
The creamy white to pink flowers are an important source of nectar and pollen for honey bees. Its wood is lightweight and porous which is good for making carvings, coffins and dugout canoes. The silky fibers that disperse the seeds are too small for weaving but make great stuffing for bedding, cushions, plush animals and life preservers. Prolonged exposure to harvesting these fibers can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat.
The bark decoction has been used as a diuretic, aphrodisiac, and to treat headache, as well as type II diabetes. It is used as an additive in some versions of the psychedelic drink Ayahuasca.
The seeds produce a vegetable oil that resembles cottonseed oil, and is also used in soap and fertilizers. It does have some potential as a biofuel and in paint preparation. The seeds, and the oil, do contain cyclopropenoid fatty acids which cause abnormal physiological reactions in animals. Therefore the consumption of kapok seeds or seed oil should be discouraged unless the cyclopropenoid acids have been chemically removed.
It is intolerant of frost. Best sited in moist well drained soils in full sun. Water needs vary during the year. Trees appreciate abundant moisture during their vegetative period, but prefer much less moisture in winter during the dry season (December – February in southern Florida) when trees have lost most of their leaves or are deciduous. Flowers typically begin blooming in February near the end of the dry season, followed by fruiting. New foliage typically begins to appear shortly after flowering. USDA zone 10-12
**This is not to be confused with the RED silk cotton Kapok tree, that is from the genus Bombax, species ceiba. Both are from the family Malvaceae. We also offer the seeds to Bombax ceiba (Red silk cotton) here in our store.
This offer is for 15 seeds.

An exceptional solution for both beginners and intermediate cigar enthusiasts
This humidor is an exceptional solution for both beginners and intermediate enthusiasts, offering high-end technical performance at an excellent value. It expertly balances superior craftsmanship with a functional, elegant design suitable for any desk or office.
Technical Engineering & Climate Control
Superior Seal: The unit features a machined internal lip—or "freshness coaming"—that creates a robust airtight seal, often producing an audible vacuum "whoosh" when opened.
Spanish Cedar Interior: Lined with genuine Spanish cedar, the box utilizes the wood's natural hygroscopic properties to buffer humidity and stabilize the internal environment.
Integrated Instrumentation: The kit includes an analog or digital hygrometer and a crystal gel humidification system. While users often find the included hygrometers require a known offset for precision, they provide a consistent visual reference for long-term maintenance.
Hardware Quality: The box is equipped with high-quality quadrant hinges and a ball-detent locking hasp that ensures the lid remains securely closed.
Design & Practicality
Capacity: Optimally sized to hold between 25 and 35 cigars, this humidor provides ample space for proper air circulation without becoming cumbersome.
Visual Display: The tempered glass top is deeply seated and sealed, allowing you to inspect your collection without disrupting the internal relative humidity (RH).
Furniture Protection: A full-coverage velvet pad on the bottom prevents the unit from slipping or scratching delicate surfaces.
All-Inclusive Starter Kit
The package serves as a comprehensive "cigar solution" by including everything needed to begin seasoning immediately:
Humidification solution and a precise dropper system.
A cedar divider to organize different cigar assortments.
Three travel storage tubes for cigars on the go.
Final Verdict: This humidor is a standout personal essential or gift, successfully executing the critical technical requirements of airtight storage and moisture buffering while maintaining a premium aesthetic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Technical Review: Premium Cedar Wood Glass Top Humidor (25-35 Count)
5 stars all the way! Wow! I'm speechless, but WOW! Excellent product.
This desktop humidor package is an exceptional entry-level to intermediate solution that demonstrates superior craftsmanship where it matters most: maintaining stable Relative Humidity (RH) for cigar aging and preservation. It flawlessly balances high-utility features with an elegant, display-friendly design, earning a perfect five-star rating as a standout gift or personal essential.
🔬 Technical Integrity: The Seal and The Wood
The core function of any humidor is its seal and its ability to buffer humidity changes. This unit executes both with precision:
The Airtight Seal: The box features a carefully machined lid designed with a sealed freshness coaming—a tight, internal lip that meets the box edge when closed. The result is an audible "whoosh" or vacuum sound when the lid is lifted (the "dollar bill test" typically passes with flying colors), confirming minimal air exchange. This robust seal is crucial for long-term humidity stability.
Spanish Cedar Lining: The interior is lined with genuine Spanish Cedar (Cedrela Odorata). This isn't just for aroma; cedar has a unique cell structure that is naturally hydroscopic (it absorbs and releases moisture). This acts as a humidity buffer, stabilizing the internal environment by absorbing excess moisture when RH is too high and releasing it slowly when RH drops. This buffering action is vital for consistent aging.
Capacity: The 25-35 cigar capacity (depending on cigar ring gauge) is ideal for a dedicated enthusiast or a growing collection, providing enough volume for proper air circulation without being overly bulky.
🌡️ Instrumentation and Humidification System
The integrated components simplify the critical process of humidity management.
Glass Top Display & Stability: While glass tops are sometimes criticized for being less efficient than solid wood (as wood is a better buffer than glass), this model compensates by using tempered glass that is deeply seated and sealed. This allows for visual inspection without opening the lid, a critical feature that reduces the physical disruption of the stable internal RH.
Analog Hygrometer: The included analog hygrometer is an excellent aesthetic touch. While all analog hygrometers should be calibrated immediately upon receipt, its positioning is clear and front-facing. Many users upgrade to a digital hygrometer for superior precision, but the built-in unit provides a reliable visual reference point.
Humidifier & Dropper System: The package includes a standard foam or acrylic humidifier and a dropper. This allows for precise charging with distilled water or propylene glycol solution. The inclusion of a divider helps organize the collection, ensuring proper spacing for maximum air and humidity exposure to every cigar.
🎁 Presentation and Value
The humidor's aesthetic appeal and comprehensive feature set make it a genuinely thoughtful gift.
Aesthetic Appeal: The smooth, polished exterior finish combined with the glass top makes it a beautiful piece of desk or office furniture. The overall fit and finish feel premium, with quality hinges and a solid weight.
All-Inclusive Kit: By including the box itself, the hygrometer, the humidifier, the cedar divider, and the dropper, the manufacturer provides everything needed for a new aficionado to correctly season the box and begin storage immediately.
Final Verdict: This humidor successfully executes the technical requirements of long-term cigar storage—a tight seal and Spanish cedar lining—while adding the convenience and presentation of a glass top. It is the perfect blend of form and function, offering exceptional value and performance for its class.

A Really Nice Starter or Small Humidor
This is a really nice small or starter humidor kit for someone that buys a box or small assortment of cigars and needs a place to keep them maintained while working through them over a period of time. Sized right for this need, my picture shows 20 cigars stored with plenty of room left over for 5 to 10 more.
I added my own calibrated hygrometer with the hygrometer included with the humidor. This allowed me to capture a week long stream of data showing the seasoning process of the humidor as the internal relative humidity level slowly increased as the included crystal gel humidifier added water vapor to the humidor. I did top up the humidifier with the included cigar solution over this period but very little was needed.
After a week I had a stable internal humidity level near 70% so I added 20 cigars from my well maintained collection and all is well. As long as I follow the manufacturers instructions and keep the humidor out of direct sunlight, I believe it will provide a stable long term storage environment.
Prefilled humidifier, cigar solution, travel storage tubes, dropper and instructions were all well done. One thing I'll add is the provided hygrometer can be changed from degrees C to degrees F by pushing the on-off switch twice rapidly. This is not called out in the instructions. Also, I found the provided hygrometer to be off as compared to my calibrated hygrometer. This is common and once the offset is known it can be worked around. In my case the included hygrometer was reading 4% below my test hygrometer.
Fit, finish, and build quality of the humidor was very good. It looks good on the outside and appears to be sealing very well when closed to maintain a humidified internal environment. I very much appreciate the full coverage velvet-like cushion/pad on the bottom of the humidor to keep it from scratching a softer wood surface it is placed on.
Some quick notes on the hinge and hasp hardware. The humidor includes quadrant hinges which work really well for humidors. Happy to see them included. The locking hasp does hold the lid securely closed using a ball detent locking system. Should the humidor ever become too wet or you want to let the humidor air out a bit, the hasp can be used as a lid prop to allow some outside air to enter the humidor. Added a photo of this as my description is probably lacking.
