MWB Studios humidors are handcrafted in the U.S. by American craftsmen. These are not imports and are crafted one at a time in our studio located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our specialty craft is marquetry and inlay. Marquetry is an age old craft where different veneers are cut and hand assembled into a larger panel similar to a jigsaw puzzle. Inlay is similar in process however instead of assembling a larger panel of different woods, the woods are inset into a larger piece with recesses. These processes take time and skill to create a quality product and will last generations.
