So I received a box of cigars last night while I was at work. My girlfriend left them on the table for me. It has been pouring rain here for a couple days. I just tried to open the box & no luck. The lid should slide out the bottom. I'm wondering if the humidity has caused the box to swell on me. I don't know of any way to open it. I stuck it in my Avanti & am hoping that in a few hours in a controlled environment that I'll be able to open it. I don't want to do any damage to the box. Has this happened to anyone else? Any pointers?

The oldest trick in the book. The old tight lid trick. It is when you get a box that is stuck shut and when you open it.....


You get nothing inside but a couple sticks of cedar.

had it happen a few times. I usually stick a knife blade in the back and pry it open with a gentle twist. Once it starts to move it is usually ok
That worked. Thank you very much Aaron! I'll have my first on at tonight's Halloween party.:cbig:
