Loading a cookie inside a model's constructor

So I want to read a cookie using the Cakephp's Cookie class. First, I
tried to import only the cookie class and read the cookie, but I was
getting an error stating that the cipher key cannot be null. So I
imported the Configure class, set the key property of the cookie
instance to the respective cipher key, but the cookie is returning a
different result from what it's set to. Any ideas?\
The override constructor class looks like:

class Member extends AppModel {
function __construct( $id = false, $table = NULL, $ds = NULL ) {
App::import('Component','Cookie');
App::import('Core','Configure');

$conf = new Configure();
$cookie = new CookieComponent();

$cookie->key = $conf->read("Security.cipherSeed");
var_dump($cookie->read('sel_app'));
...

parent::__construct($id,$table,$ds);
