Cardboard box or Wood in a Coolidor?

[Wasch_24]

Sorry guys, Just look at a lot of your Fuente boxes like the chateau line, or the patagas lines, All N.C. They are just a thinner wooden box with paper covering over. Not the higher end solid wood dress boxes. I have mostly the paper covered boxes. Should I go to dress Boxes for better humidity control?

Like Steve said.

Those paper covered boxes are dress boxes.

 

[Wasch_24]

Yup, you're confused. Maye this will help (assuming I remember everything correctly, at least! LOL)

• DRESS BOX = Paper-covered wood box
• SLIDE LID BOX (SLB) = wood box with sliding, non-hinged lid
• SEMI BOITE NATURE (SBN) = wood box, hinged, often locked/latched, no inside collars
• BOITE NATURE = wood box, hinged, collared, and lock/latch.

:yes:

Nicely done.

I know La Vieja Habana come in cardboard "cereal box" type boxes. Also, aren't CAO Brazilia and Italia in cardboard?

Hmmm....I'll have to look at a Brazilia box next time I'm around one. It very possibly may be cardboard; I've never paid any attention.

The LVH...now *THAT* I do remember now. LOL! :headroll:

The BN and SBN boxes can either be varnished or not.


Regardless, they are all made of wood/cedar and all are fine for storage...otherwise the wouldn't sell/ship the cigars in them.

Nicely done.

Thanks, but one thing I couldn't remember is the FORMAL name for a dress box. That info seems to have gotten lost somewhere in my brainpan...

[Donk]

pic is there isn't it

 

[Wasch_24]

Now it is.


Like Duane said, that is a dress box.

 

[Headbanger]

That is a dresss box bro as in a dresses up box, thus the pretty paper wrapping.

 

[Donk]

so should I be using dress or SBN boxes to keep better humidity in the cooler?

 

[Headbanger]

All of them but the cardboard will be just fine.

 

[Wasch_24]

Either one or both.

Obviously the SBN are going to work better because there is no paper covering the wood but they will both work fine.

 

[Donk]

You guys are a tough crowd, Sorry for the term mixup.

 

[Wasch_24]

:rofl:


It makes it a ton easier to help if we all use the same terms.

 

[Headbanger]

We are accurate and trying to give the best answers. You do want the best and most accurate answers correct? Sorry I could not reach you via cell, would have been easier.

 

[Electric Sheep]

I don't think we're "tough"....on the contrary, I think we're trying to be ACCURATE and EDUCATIONAL.

Well, at least I was. Todd might actually be "tough". :ninja:

But we all know Steve's not. okemyeye

 

[Wasch_24]

LOL, I wasn't trying to bust any balls. :rofl:

 

[Electric Sheep]

I am also appreciably SLOWER at responding than either of those two. LMAO! :rolling:
