Ghabanos Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 just curious to see if there are any good uses for old boxes. I don't have much room in Hong Kong, so I may end up tossing them out... I wish I could collect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigabyte056 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I collect some, also once made one into an electric guitar (nice gimmick but crap sound). I also hand them out to my and my families kids as a collectible and to store stuff in it. I am sure you can find a collector who will take them off your hands and also pay the shipping should you wish to get rid of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBL Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I save some for singles, others I use to ship cigars in for trades and I use old sbn boxes for dryboxing. Most dress boxes I could throw out without regretting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stogieokie Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I hang on to most of mine as on occasion someone is looking for something specific. Storage isn't really a big issue for me as I box them up and put them in my attic. I've sold some at garage sales and there are always some listed on ebay--whether they sell or not I can't tell you.

cigcars Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I've seen literally HUNDREDS of empty cigar boxes (especially Cuban) sold on Ebay as collectors' items. I also like giving them to close friends for their collection and storage use too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 For some reason I never toss my empty boxes. As a result I have about 150-200 of them in my attic… My nieces, lady friends, sister in law, etc. usually take the nice varnished cabs, but the dress boxes will probably end up in a bonfire… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafLover Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Stack them in the corner from floor to ceiling like Guy (lafcion)does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leojvs Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have turned a few into wall clocks. They have come up really nice. Just looking for a small mechanisim (sp) to turn a box of 50 Monty Minis into a desk clock for my future wife. She keeps giving me the hurry up too.
