What is camper wood? My guess it is too dried out to be used as a humidor now, but it is quite the find.

I believe camperwood is also known as Kapur or Borneo Camphor (not related to true camphor wood). It's a hardwood found in south east asia (Malaysia, Indonesia, Sumatra, etc).

Fantastic treasure! Camper wood is one of the rarest material which is used for humidors. Are there any suggestions how much this artifact will go under the auctions hammer ?

Rob, It would be interesting to try and find out what

were the cigars smoked or sold on the Titanic in the cigar lounge

and cigar bar on board. I'll try and see If I can find something on this.

What is certain, they didn't have the time to be dry boxed ,

I'm betting RJ Churchills?
