Anybody know where I can obtain some large cigar boxes? All I seem to be able to get are around 9" x 6" x 2". I'm looking for something a bit larger, say around 18" long x 9" wide but they seem to elude me.
When I search the net about CBG's I see all these guys with nice big boxes in the pictures, where are they getting them from?

I guess I'm just a bit paranoid that mine isn't as big as everyone else's (can't believe I just said that)
This is my first build and I want to get it right I have a nice Punch box that I think will do 10"x7"x2"
thanks for all your replies.

Sometimes a cigar box is just a cigar box. Your Freudian slip is showing >:-E

You knew I was kidding, right?
With a name like that, you should be able to get any size box you want:-)
Permalink Reply by Walter Cengia on May 1, 2012 at 8:30am I have the same problem, trying to get a decent size CIGAR box is damn near impossible so I just make my own out of 6mm red oak for the sides and ceder ply for the top and bottom, that way I cane make them any size I want. you could even print up cigar brand pics and past them on your diy box for that authentic look.

Permalink Reply by MBliss on May 11, 2012 at 7:17am Yeah, when I see those big boxes like that, I begin attempting to rationalize buying the whole box full. Hard to do since I dont smoke! And I could probably build a couple of NICE cedar or spruce box for what it would cost! And yet........
