I just put together my first 2 tupperdors, and need some more cedar in there to help with humidity regulation. Also, I just think it looks cooler to keep them in boxes rather than piles...maybe I'm a neat freak, I don't know, but I just like I better that way. Plus, who can beat the smell of cigars housed in a cedar box? Even non cigar smokers like that smell :)

I'd specifically love a couple RP Vintage boxes (have won a bunch of 5-ers). Do you think a B&M would "save" one for me?

The local B&Ms I've asked said they didn't have any empty boxes of any kind (not sure how that's possible...but whatever). There is one I've heard of that sometimes will sell empty boxes if you buy some sticks too.

I'm looking for a cheaper option :) CBid has had a couple here and there, but they must be special boxes because they sell for about $10. I haven't seen any on eBay or Amazon.

Otherwise, where else might I look to find some?

Thanks!

I wish I had a couple to send you right now but I just gave them away.
I am sure someone on here has some for sale, trade or give away.

When I first started my coolidor, I bought a package of 10 assorted boxes on Cbid for about $10+ shipping. I've also picked up a couple of nice boxes on eBay (be careful of the shipping costs, though).

What size cigars? Robusto, corona, petit corona, churchill?
Oh yea, duh, thanks :)

I need 2 churchill boxes, 2 toro boxes, and then 1 robusto box. Again, I'd love to find a couple RP Vintage boxes at some point, but right now I need something.

I don't yet buy cigars by the box really because I'm still figuring out what kind of cigars I like. And of those that have found that I really love, I'm still figuring out the whole size thing. For example I've won 5-ers of each size of the RP Vintage '90 and '92, except the "Sixty"--oh how my heart greatly desires you-- and I'm going to see which I like the best.

My first box purchase EVER (RP Fusion Toro) is coming tomorrow! Woohoo! That box, of course, is sort of full...for the moment :stretchgr

I bought a single from a local B&M that I hate b/c of their high prices. While he was ringing me up, I said "Hey do you have any empty wooden cigar boxes you are going to throw out?" He said sure, let me get you some.

Thanks for the offer! I'll let you know in a couple days. Chuck is sending me some (thanks again!) and that may be all I need, or maybe not. Depends if he finds a churchill box :) I'll let you know, thanks.

EDIT: PM sent
