Average Box Size.

[nhcigarfan]

I realized the other day that If I were to order a box of Cigars and have them sent to my house that

1. they won't fit in the mailbox, obviously.

and

2. I don't have much of an awning or anything so the box would not be protected from the elements before I arrive home.

So I looked into getting a post office box for cigar orders and to use as an address for important letters, since I could get the mail earlier from there than it arrives at my house.

So, the question is: what are the dimensions of the average packaging used for a 25 count cigar box? Here is a link with the dimensions of the PO Boxes themselves for those unfamiliar with them. http://www.usps.com/receive/business...boxrentals.htm

What do you think?

Every cigar box is designed independently to hold the cigars tight and secure and there are a wide range of cigar sizes and shape therefore there are a huge variety of box sizes. Also some manufacturers use flat, wide boxes stacking two high and 12-13 across, and others use shoe-box like boxes maybe four or five across and four or five deep. So basically you will end up getting a note in your PO box saying come to the counter to pick up the box.

That being said, mailboxes get pretty hot anyway so it probably would make a difference if the box fit in the mailbox or if it was left at your door.

The benefit of a PO box is that post offices are air conditioned.

Ok. I apologise for my post. It may have looked like I was trying to take the piss. I wasn't at all. That will teach me for not reading a post properly.

Sorry.
