So i see this post earlier about Cigar Bands and if you have any laying around one of our memebers would like them. I was wandering if anyone has any Decent Cigar Boxes laying around they want to part with, I have an Idea for decorating My office and could use a bunch of them. I know High end boxes are more than likely out but would be appreciated . Fire me an PM and let me know what you think. Willing to pay postage or work out something? I honestley would love to be buried in a variety. Peace Ozzie

    Any time frame you're working with? I got nothing now, but I'll have 3 or 4 in a month or so

    NO time frame really just working on this project.... thanks for the response.

    I know this doesn't exactly answer your request but, for what it's worth, empty boxes are available through eBay and other cigar auctions. I picked up a few cedar Padron boxes through eBay fairly cheaply.

    Also, my locals B&Ms sell them for $2 a piece. Worth checking around if yours do the same.

    I've got a few empty boxes and will have a couple more in a few days. Is there a specific number of boxes you're looking for, or just however many you can get?

    I guess that means you'll be posting some pictures when you're done? I'll shoot you a pm in a few days and see about getting you some empty boxes, should be able to set you up with at least 3-5, maybe a couple more.

    man, I'm really curious now...can you give us an idea of what you're doing with them?
  • HugemooseHugemoose Posts: 458 ✭
    I have a diesel box and maybe if I look hard an Oliva G box around here somewhere. I almost never buy a box of cigars so sorry I can't be of more help.

    Just shoot me a PM when you want me to send it your way and I'll get it in the mail!
  • RedtailhawkozRedtailhawkoz Posts: 2,915 ✭
    hey guys I Love the response. And i know your all wandering what the hell is this Guy up to. I dont want to give away the idea but I will give some clue...... I am building something to go in My Home Office... it will be Big..... Not sure how many Boxes it will take and the odd shapes will come into play but I assure you IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!. I also Plan on this being Quite Functional and I have Drawn it up on Blue Prints.... I am **** that way! so truthfully im thinking this might take 100 boxes or more... I have a few ... another hint..... it this turns out the way i think it will, everyone will want to do this! Thanks guys keep the emaisl coming!

    Sounds cool Ozzie. Like someone else said, most B&M's (ones I've been familiar with anyway) sell boxes for a buck or 2. If you have a good relationship with a B&M and tell them what you're doing, I wouldn't be surprised if they just gave you some.
  • HeavyHeavy Posts: 1,591 ✭✭✭
    Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to mention I only have two boxes and use one for storing accessories (cutters, lighters etc) and the other for dry boxing. So I am of absolutely no help whatsoever!

    And one of my boxes came from a box purchase (bought full), the other I bought at a B&M empty for $1 (Ashton magnum box)

    Bill, if you want I can check the B&M's around here to see if they have anything to sell or donate to the cause. Do you want plain wooden boxes, decorative boxes or does it matter?

    That was gonna be my question, what exactly are you looking for as far as cigar boxes? I know you want different shapes and sizes, but do they have to be cedar lined, wood, or there are some that have soft tops (which I usually rip off for storage) ?

    Any Cigar Box will work, I think...... LOL once I have all i think I am going to need and Make a Protoype before actually assembling them for permanace will be the key. Kinf og the Idea is to have the Names or Makrings all visible whether it be only a side view or top view. I do know that Wood Boxes will make a up the biggest part. It matters not about the Lining its the Outside of the Boxx that will be visable. Thanks guys this is Great!
