Cigar Boxes

[derivation]

Sometimes guys here who have a few extra lying around will trade them reasonably, but that mostly depends on if anyone has extras. If you wanted to buy, check out CI.

I bought those from them a while ago, and was mostly pleased except for two of the boxes which were acids

I thought about going with some of the plastic trays from the dollar store. But I was hoping to get om nice boxes to put the singles in "naked" without the cellophane to help with aging them a little. I have a decent little Cherrywood Humidor (seems to hold 35 or so) that I got last week from Thompson with 25 of their house brand cigars. Not a bad deal for $30. Anyway, I have it right at 66% humidity and holding so I put my more expensive sticks in there, but I'm trying to have as much spanish cedar in the cooler as I can get. I even got my hands on several of those little cedar blocks that come in some of the boxes and have them laying around in there too. I'm not sure how much cedar would be in there to assist in aging, but at least it smells nice when I open to lid to grab a smoke.

I should also give credit where it's due: I had the same question when I first came on the board and chefchris pointed me towards the box deal from CI.

I may be placing an order there myself

I am working on getting collection of cigar boxes to do an art project on one of my game room walls. I go on cbid (which is run by CI) and bid on a lot of 10 boxes. The last time I did, I got like 20 boxes for $18 dollars shipped. The only down side of getting those is that you don't know what boxes they will send you until you get them.

I see them all the time at flea markets and yard sales. Unless there old and desirable for that reason alone you can get them for a 1 or 2. Some of the older cigar smokers have a ton of boxes they have no use for we all know that I am sure once you get to know people trading for a few boxes will not be hard. My suggestion to you is go to your local flea market take a look around and get to know a few vender's find out who smoking cigars and gift a few their way. Then slip in that your interested in wooden cigars boxes to help in storage, so when their out and about keep that in mind. Dealers buy out houses and are faced sometimes with a lot of stuff they will just throw in the trash because they do not deal with it themselves.

I bought the box package from CI as well. 9 of them were great and are still in my cooler, the 10th was an ACID box and is now in a landfill somewhere.
