<p>You can find them all over the net and at C.B.Gitty. When I was saying hard to find, I meant locally. That's because most people have come to know that they can sell them now. These boxes are very hard to get over seas and the postage is down right criminal.</p>

<p>I think it's ok, kind of like a generic description, like catsup, many brands and types, one name to describe</p>
<p>but as far as hard to find...hmmm, over 11,000 listings on ebay, plenty on craigslist city depending, smoke shops everywhere, they've gotten popular so people are cashing in on that by jacking prices, just got to shop around.</p>
<p>And there's nothing wrong with printing an old cigar box decal, making a box, and calling it a re-production</p>

<p>Cigar boxes are starting to hard to find. So a box that is similar in shape and style can still be referred to a "Cigar Box". Of course some may disagree.</p>

<p>Thanks, yeah, I needed a bottle opener and someplace to put it, the gee-tar was the secondary thought LOL. Really though, wish it was my idea, but saw it on the internet on one other build, so, I copied the idea, I have plenty of various similar bottle openers, I plan on repeating the idea, and they do make for a very sturdy trapeze.</p>

<p>Richard, I like what you did with the bottle opener. You have a multi-purpose party instrument there!</p>

<p>The way I see it, there's a huge difference in a hobbyist building a box and creating a "cigar box guitar" (when it only resembles a cigar box in shape and size) as opposed to a large international company mass producing a wood box to look deceptively exactly like a cigar box, and calling it a cigar box instrument. As a hobbyist, or even a dedicated builder/seller, we have more personal contact with our end users/customers, and are able to explain the build. These…</p>

As a hobbyist, or even a dedicated builder/seller, we have more personal contact with our end users/customers, and are able to explain the build. These are manufactured to look like and then marketed as a cigar box. Like I said before, if I buy a ring that is labeled as a "gold ring" from Zales, it damn well better be gold. That's just the rules of advertising and product misrepresentation. And for the record, CIGAR BOX NATION is not a manufacturer misrepresenting a product to it's customers.Yes, I realize people make "cigar box guitars" out of bed pans. It's usually the guy who has made CBGs in the past. If Ben Baker sells a do it yourself box like the one someone posted above, I have never seen it advertised as a cigar box. He knows its not, you know its not... we all know its not a cigar box. </p> On the same note, I've made a…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2017-09-25:2592684:Comment:29479532017-09-25T04:03:50.337ZRichard Deanhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/RichardDean
