Hi Folks

Has anyone made their own cigar boxes?

I personally think it's ok to make your own box.

What is you opinions.

New legislation in Australia means no more brand logos for tobacco products of any kind and the front of the box is covered with a picture of a rotten lung, a gangrenous foot or cancerous tongue. Perfect for heavy metal!

Given I make ukes I usually finish up with cookie or Chockie tins.
I trawl the goodwill stores for what I can find too.

Back when I used to buy cigars to make exploding cigars from, the only ones I could find were either in individual tubes or the Henri wintermans half corona 5 pack. About the size and consistency of a cigarette pack.

In case you are interested party poppers contain a charge just big enough to amaze but not disable. You would be surprised the number of people who assume you are having them on when you tell them that the cigars are exploding and how angry they can get when the cigar which you told them was exploding actually does. Port and exploding cigars over a game of cards - could there be a better life?
