Although it is not a "cigar box", it certainly is an original home made instrument.

Is it a cigar box? No. Does it fit the parameters of what is a cigar box guitar? Yes. Does if fall in the same pantheon of what has been called a cigar box guitar? Yes. Cigar box guitar is an attitude. Not what it's made of. Now go play your cigar box guitar! : ) 

If you need more help on this subject there's an easy place to find it. Look threw the picture gallery on this site. Find out what has been identified as or included as a cigar box guitar. Then make your own call.

I would propose the Genus "Luthierus CBG-us" would include a wide variety of species and breeds of "home made non-traditional luthierie" such as the cigar box 3 string guitar, the cigar box diddley bo, the license plate guitar, the suitcase bass, the 2x4 lap guitar, the lunchbox ukulele,  and the rare and elusive  toilet seat lyre, just to name a few......
