I have no idea why boxes are so dufficult to get hold of here Kevin ... Contacts in Europe would prob be the best idea for Brit builders.

Thanks for the compliment mate ... The one steady thing in my life has always been the enjoyment of artwork. For 10 years I did airbrushing .. on cars, bikes and helmets.

Thanks folks ... There are a lot of old boxes on line that you can't get anymore, so it was just an idea..!!

"If you can't get to the mountain ... let the mountain come to you" ...!!!

Yes your right UJ, if someone wanted their own named cigars ... why not lol.

The boxes have real thin lids anyway and without doubt they with resinate brilliantly.

You can have fun with this.  Careless John Cheroots.  Personalized, etc.   Once you age it, it will be cool.  Plus,  you can make them big and thin topped for sound.
