Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone out there has any empty cigar boxes that they dont want? I collect them, just sortof a hobby I guess...

There's some brands I'm definitely looking for like Oliva, Carlos Torano, Onyx, Acid, also any Montecristo Delacroix boxes or those CAO Criollo ones with the drawers...

But I'd definitely be interested in ANY boxes that anyone may have that they dont want/need, as long as they are in good condition (not torn up, scratched up, etc etc).

I could trade you some cigars or maybe even give you some $ for 'em if it's not tooo much.

Anyways, if anyone's interested, please email me at:
[email protected]

Thanks,

J

Sells,most collectors look for limited edition cigar boxes,or fancy shapes like the Oliva 'O' box or recognized premium cigars like Opus.Wood boxes with a nice finish or artwork,odd number of contents,and of course,old,the older the better.Old Cubans no longer made.And then the pursemakers customize many size and brands of boxes.
You can see many examples in the online Cigar Museum,the link is on the CigarNexus site.

Beware of the guy calling himself cigarbox_collector.
He's a scam artist. If you do any trades with him make sure you get your end up front. I am still waiting for my promised gars for an acid box I sent him.

Additionally - this thread from CW details his actions there too.

Minesman,thanks for the heads up. I'm a firm believer in outing scammers and thieves.After hundreds of trades I've only had one small ripoff cross my path.Most of the guys into this will report the same.
But once a thief,always a thief,has been my view for my whole life.

Funny,the one time I got burned,about two years ago,it was for a load of boxes.Some people are stupid enough to steal what they could have as a gift.
