Hi All
I am looking at importing some cedar cigar boxes for CBG construction from a company that makes them for cigar Manufactures. The boxes would be unbranded allowing for the option to be fully customisable. I am looking at around 10x6x3 inch's for the size for the purposes of quotes at this time.
I am wondering if this would be of interest to members of this group and does anybody have any preference in size? And any ideas of what would be a fair RRP price for the boxes? All of this information will help me to see if this is a viable venture.
Thanks
Paul

thanks for your reply Parleblue. This is a genuine ? so all help appreciated. What started this quest is Price Availability and quality available in the UK
As far as I know northern Ireland is part of UK and the South is a part of Europe. Interesting link call them on Monday to see what is on offer. Thanks
Hi S,H. I could be interested, though 10 x 7 x3 inches would suit me better.Would depend on price and quantity.
'fingers'
sounds interesting - i usually buy branded boxes from the US, including postage etc. they work out about £10- £12 each, ideal sizes are 9 to 12 inches by 7 to 8 inches by 1.5 - 2.5 inches deep. i'm looking for a 14" one to build a 4/4 violin but found nowt yet! (-:
I would certainly be interested in this. My personal preference is a size more in the 12"x7"x2" range but anything is better than nothing right?
I would imagine you would have to make quite a substantial order to deal with a wholesaler, but the resale prices would be much better as a result. Did you call the Irish box makers?
I'm looking for something that's a minimum of 11" x 7.5" x 2.5" (and 12" x 8" x3" would be better). Constructoin quality is also important - so I'm looking for good thick side walls and box joints at the corners. Hopefully also proper spanish cedar.
I know that could sound picky but if I'm going to pay for something I might as well be clear about what I really want. I've been able to get smaller stuff easily and cheaply from UK cigar sellers but I've become unhappy about the limits of these sizes.
Hi Guys,
That is exactly what we are looking for so if there is a chance to put a group order in, count on us to take quite a few.
Hi Paul,
We are new here today but we would love some of the cigar boxes.
We have a pretty well equipped woodworking shop for making anything small and gicar box guitars and amps are something we have been fiddling with for a while. Finding cigar boxes of a decent size is hard work so we have started making some from Yew, Steamed Pear, Plum, Maple and Cherry......but that kind of goes against the spirit of cigar box building.
All the very best,
Dave & Caroline.
