Locating CBG cigar boxes in NZ
Hi,
I'm new to the NZ group and in the process of making a CBG. Does anyone know of a local source for suitable cigar boxes?
They are few and far between and costly on Trademe, and it costs an arm and a leg to get one from the US, so I am interested to get any ideas.

sorry no but making a small box out of recycled timber or another type of box eg a can might be a god place to get started.
cheers Colin (Wanganui)

Thanks, Colin, I tried Cigarshop but hey don't anything at the moment - maybe Kiwis don't import cigars in bulk!
I think I will build a box from scratch
