Veneering technique

You can't "veneer" the insides of cigar humidors. The cedar lining is
done as "slips" instead, a loosely held thick veneer that isn't stuck
down. Think of it as a three-dimensional framed panel. Bigger ones are
thick enough to be rigid, as a simple box within a box. Humidity
inside a humidor would play havoc with any traditional veneering
techniques.
OTOH, the outside is traditionally a place to practice your best
veneering and inlay techniques.
Of course the cheap commmercial ones are done by pre-veneering the
board. They use a heat-set adhesive and a big press. You can do it this
way too, but it isn't cabinetry, it's just box making. Might as well
shop at Ikea.
