I'm very new to this whole scene. I've recently been looking for cigar boxes to make a cigar box ukulele. I know absolutely _nothing_ about building an instrument, but I've decided to give it a shot!
I got a Balmoral cigars box from a newsagents in town yesterday. I'm going to head in today and see what the likes of Fox's and Peterson's on Grafton Street have (apparently the Decent Cigar Emporium keep all their boxes). The Balmoral box is pretty poorly made, but I think it will be useful for making my first uke, so I can make a real mess of it and not have ruined a really nice box. :-)
I also mailed a guy from an Irish cigar enthusiast group and asked him if he has any good tips. I'm kind of hoping that he will respond by saying "Well, I have a massive stockpile of empties at home - call over and help yourself"! :-)
Just out of interest, how much do you pay for your cigar boxes on ebay? I've been checking it out and it seems that a decent box is going to cost upwards of €10 with shipping. Call me a cheap student, but it seems a lot to pay for something that people are throwing out anyway!
