Comment by Joe Caruso on February 24, 2016 at 6:48am: Hi Larry - welcome to the group! I'm down in Woodbridge. Box sources - cigar shops, relatives and friends who travel, Michael's craft boxes (watch for their 50% off coupons which appear regularly). And also making my own out of scraps and sections from those small crates that tangerines come in.
